Template:Unicode navigation
Usage change
- The box is aimed at Unicode-related pages. Guidelines do recommend not to create a box with numerous entries, like with names of 165 Unicode-blocks.
Starting visibility: currently automatically selects itself to wikt:collapsed
To set this template's starting visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:
|state=collapsed:{{Unicode navigation|state=collapsed}}to show the template collapsed, i.e., hidden apart from its title bar|state=expanded:{{Unicode navigation|state=expanded}}to show the template expanded, i.e., fully visible|state=autocollapse:{{Unicode navigation|state=autocollapse}}
If the |state= parameter in the template on this page is not set, the template's starting visibility is taken from the |default= parameter in the Collapsible option template. For the template on this page, that currently evaluates to collapsed.
Unicode terms used change
- A block in Unicode is a named, single continuous group of code points, e.g. Miscellaneous Symbols Unicode block with range U+2600–26FF. Each character is in one block. A block can include non/assigned code points, non/character codepoints etcetera.
- A script is related to speech (like the alphabet), symbols are related to their meaning (like chess-symbols). Symbols also include controls and Unicode-specials like Byte order mark(BOM). All defined Unicode characters are either in a script or a symbol.
- Charts are examples of glyphs, i.e. a rendered character (the "A" you read)
- Due to legacy character sets like ASCII, and due to intended usage of Unicode, multiple issues arise from pairs of characters with an overlapping meaning etc.
- Special characters have a Unicode-defined behavior.
- Miscellaneous lists are lists of characters that are not in one block. Cultural symbols like religious crosses are in different blocks.
Unicode version change
- Scripts: Unicode as of version 5.2; Batak, Brāhmī, Mandaic: added as per version 6.0
