This page started from the above fore mentioned example page but has expanded far beyond the original. It is particularly focused on the interactions between of Unicode characters, so they work as a seamless whole. It is meant to provide a reference of Unicode that work well together, and report what doesn't work, even though it should work. This document will often show up any problems a particular font or application has very quickly. Before using Unicode in applications I recommend you also look at "unicode.txt" in this directory... https://antofthy.gitlab.io/info/data/unicode.txt Many examples below are designed to work with a fixed-width or non-proportional font. I have also made notes about a number of fonts that I found 'promising'. See "unicode_fonts.txt" in this directory... https://antofthy.gitlab.io/info/data/unicode_font.txt So far no font has been found to be absolutely 'perfect', though a few are pretty close. They are generally either incomplete, or not truly fix-width! General Unicode Notes and Problems... If the first non-space character in a line is special (braille, some math characters, diacritic), then all the spaces before that character may be inexplicably replaced with matching half-width spaces, even when using a fixed-width font. Aargh... "Combining Diacritical Marks" generally work in all GTK applications, but often do NOT handle of "Combining Symbols" (block U+20D0) properly. EG: These very useful combined characters X⃞ ╳⃞ ✓⃞ ✗⃞ do not always work... Note some characters need to have a 'force text rendering' (U+FE0E) added (after the character) to prevent some renderers substituting emoji equivalents. This is especially true for "Miscellaneous Symbols" and "Dingbats". See "Variation Selector" below. Other references.... Other good sources in which to find and lookup Unicode characters include especially for copy-n-paste as needed are Wikibooks, Unicode/List of useful symbols https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Unicode/List_of_useful_symbols Anthony Thyssen, July 2020 =============================================================================== Typographical Usage of Unicode: ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ • ‘single’ and “double” quotes ❛ ❜ ❝ ❞ ║ ║ ║ ║ • Curly apostrophes: “We’ve been here” ║ ║ ║ ║ • Latin-1 apostrophe and accents: '´` ║ ║ ║ ║ • ‚deutsche‘ „Anführungszeichen“ ║ ║ ║ ║ • †, ‡, %, ‰, •, 3–4, —, −5⁄+5, ™, … ║ ║ ║ ║ • Underline using the line below ║ ║ ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ ║ ║ • ASCII safety test: 1lI|, 0ODQ, 8B ║ ║ ╭────────────────╮ ║ ║ • Currency in Box: │ 14.95€ 5£ 2¢ │ ║ ║ ╰────────────────╯ ║ ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════╝ Mathematics and Science Usage: ∮ e⋅da = q, n → ∞, ∑ f(i) = ∏ g(i), ∀x∈ℝ: ⌈x⌉ = −⌊−x⌋, α ∧ ¬β = ¬(¬α ∨ β), ⟦ ℤ ⊂ ℚ ⊂ ℝ ⊂ ℂ ⊂ ℕ ⊆ ℕ₀ ⟧, a ≠ b ≡ c ≤ d ≥ e (⟪a⟫ ⇔ ⟪b⟫) 2h₂ + o₂ ⇌ 2h₂o, r = 4.7 kω, ∆d ≈ √2, ∛5, ⌀200 mm, ∠±30°, ⊾ ⊿ ⎧ ⎡ ⎛ ⎞ ⎤ ⎫ ⌠ ┌─────┐ ∞ ⎪ ⎢ ⎜ ⎟ ⎥ ⎪ ⎮ │a²+b³ ⎲ ⎨ ⎢ ⎜ ⎟ ⎥ ⎬ ⎮ │───── ⎳aⁱ-bⁱ ⎪ ⎢ ⎜ ⎟ ⎥ ⎪ ⎮ ⎷ c₈ i=1 ⎩ ⎣ ⎝ ⎠ ⎦ ⎭ ⌡ In the above examples, extended bracket alignment requires a fixed with font. X Window 'fixed' fonts work correctly for all the above. True-type "Monospace","Terminus" fonts also works well for the extended brackets. The X window Misc fonts has the square root base, "Radical Symbol Bottom", (U23B7 or '⎷') designed so that it joins with vertical box character so you can create larger multi-line square root symbols. However most true-type fonts implement the glyph more like a normal square-root symbol (u221A, '√'), and so it does not join with the rest of the larger enclosing symbol. Also most truetype fonts do not ensure the double height summation (like '∑') correctly join up, leaving glaring gap vertically in the final larger symbol. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Character Symbol Groupings...

This work well in old X window fonts by Markus Kuhn (8x13, 9x15, etc) Warning: Box lines do not always work with other shapes. But should!

All work perfectly for X window fonts. Only "horizontal bar" works for GTK "Monospace" and Truetype "Terminus" fonts. As such the "horizontal bar" is preferred choice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vertical Lines: There is a lot of vertical bars for extended brackets in the U+2300 unicode block.

No problems for X windows "fixed" fonts. GTK "Monospace" works okay, except for '⊤' '⊥' '⎷' It also loses prefixed spaces for many characters in "gedit" "Terminus" font has proportional width faults unless you are using "gvim" which 'squares' all characters anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upside Down Letters: NB: Characters are from all over the unicode, some are not always available Z⅄XMᴧ∩⊥SᴚΌԀOᴎW⅂⋊ſIH⅁ℲƎ◖Ↄ𐐒∀ zʎxʍʌnʇsɹbdouɯƖʞɾᴉɥƃɟǝpɔqɐ 068ㄥ9ϛㄣƐᄅƖ ˙ ʻ ؛ ¿ ¡ „ ⅋ Alternatives i -> ı ᴉ l -> Ɩ ʅ 2 -> Z ᄅ G -> ⅁ פ . -> ˙⠐ ° ˚ , -> ' ʻ ‘ Example Phrases ¡ɐᴉlɐɹʇsn∀ ʻɹǝpun uʍop ɯoɹɟ sƃuᴉʇǝǝɹ⅁ ¡ɹǝpun uʍop ɯoɹɟ ʻʎɐp,ɐ⅁ ¡sǝᴉqɯoz noʎ ƖƖɐ ʎǝɥ ʎǝH ˙˙˙unɟ ǝʌɐH ˙sǝıqɯoz noʎ ƖƖɐ ʇɥƃıu poo⅁ Converters... http://www.upsidedowntext.com/ https://fsymbols.com/generators/aboqe-flip/ https://www.fileformat.info/convert/text/upside-down.htm https://www.fileformat.info/convert/text/upside-down-map.htm http://xahlee.info/comp/unicode_invert_text.html Other types of text substitution converters.... https://fsymbols.com/generators/wavy https://fsymbols.com/generators/zalgo https://fsymbols.com/generators/carty/ https://fsymbols.com/generators/smallcaps/ ... =============================================================================== Unicode Block Tables...

Diacritical Marks, are characters that accent the previous character. Generally you have a main character then a combining character which overlays on the previous character. Some characters are pre-combined to provide direct compatibility with the older ISO8859 fonts. A + Diaeresis (u0308): Ä PreCombined (u00C4): Ä Combining Characters tend to fail in unexpected ways. With marks appearing over the next character (Chrome), or not centered over/below the previous character. XTerms seem to work the best. Note that the Thai Script needs up to two combining characters over a single base character. Examples...

When fonts contain both Text and Emoji variants, some symbols are in both The symbols generally have a preference for what it should be displayed as. Example... ↔ is a math symbol. But some web browsers will prefer to use the emoji variant! That means some mathematical formulas simply do not render as it was originally intended. "Variation Selector" is a invisible character. It indicates a rendering preference for the character before it. This is generally needed for web rendering, in terminals the indicator is not understood at this time and often comes out as a unknown composing character.
