Angle brackets in linguistics and math

The article states that U+27E8 “⟨” and U+27E9 “⟩” are deprecated, but they continue to be used in mathematics[1] and linguistics. Should this be mentioned? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnSmith13345 (talk • contribs) 00:31, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Needs attention from expert

Article is showing two references sections. MarkMLl (talk) 21:58, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Problem was that someone had unilaterally moved the template to mainspace without considering the consequences. BabelStone (talk) 22:45, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How to correct reference numbering?

[31-Oct-2019] The numbers in the References section do not match the cite numbers in the article text, e.g. in the table "Unicode characters with White_Space property" the cite number is [8] when it should be [4] (which is the corresponding number in the References section). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:999:21:8639:19E1:11F5:1A1C:4754 (talk) 11:14, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Fixed. Good catch. Changed bad usage of <ref group>, use {{efn}} instead. [2], [3] -DePiep (talk) 14:42, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Code point ranges

  • 11:28, July 24, 2021 - «‎top: rephrase. simply: a unicode charater has properties. ranges do not matter at all»
@DePiep: I'm reverting this per WP:BABY and WP:BADFAITH. Please, don't make unexplained removals. Discuss first. See. Keep it, don't remove! I have to point out that the sources I've provided (in [10:00, July 24, 2021] ) specifically talk about code points, rather than characters (because there are still code points that have no characters but assigned properties) . If you are going to ignore this, then I will take this directly to WP:RFC if you don't mind. I generally don't like unexplained edits like that one above. They are highly disruptive. This disregard and recklessness toward citations and other's contributions isn't good.
...ranges do not matter at all I will cite this for you[1][2][3]:

4.2.3 Code Point Ranges A range of code points is specified by the form "X..Y". Each code point in a range has the associated property value specified on a data file. For example (from Blocks.txt): 0000..007F; Basic Latin 0080..00FF; Latin-1 Supplement....

Alexander_Davronov Please argue or withdraw your accusation of BF. One cannot make such a statement freely. Or claim that one is "talking". -DePiep (talk) 23:33, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No because I've clarified myself on the disputed issue already. I don't want to get dragged myself into another time sink. AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 07:12, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Alexander_Davronov, although in principle I thought your reworking of the lead generally an improvement, I consider your responses to DePiep bad-tempered at best. It is gross over-reaction to what is clearly just a minor difference in reading the source, which a polite exchange of understandings would easily have resolved and clarified. To accuse a fellow editor of bad faith is a very extreme step to take and a hair's breadth from a WP:ANI referral. I urge you reconsider your choice of words. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 23:59, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@John Maynard Friedman: You are free to take this to WP:ANI board. AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 06:40, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@John Maynard Friedman:

to what is clearly just a minor difference...

The UNICODE databases of char properties in fact specifically list not characters but points. For convenience we may refer to them as chars but here we should be accurate. Feel free to prove me wrong. AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 07:19, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
