Lots of Non-Displayed Characters

Whats the point of creating this chart if you can't display the characters ? Just to see hex column or rows? Even Firefox cannot show the hex 02EA~1D2B, 1D66~1DBF (except very few) ! Until most browsers supports or capable of display all those characters, a graphical representation is necessary, through picture/graphic file(s). Thanks. ~ Tarikash 00:34, 14 July 2006 (UTC).[reply]

that's unrelated to which browser you are using. You have to have unicode fonts installed. I am using Firefox and most characters render properly for me. Of course you are free to add graphics, and to add a list with an entry for each character (name, purpose, etc.), along the lines of Miscellaneous Symbols/Letterlike Symbols. If you just want to see what the character should look like, you may also click on the external link (unicode.org), where you get pdf files of the ranges. But by all means, do add the graphical representation. I have no motivation to do that, because I see the characters already. dab (ᛏ) 16:09, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Modification, installing font(s), or by changing default setup ... many things can be achieved, but, normally (default setup) cannot be seen. (i thought) we are trying our best to make pages/things working/displayable, with minimum or no extra modification, for the average users. Anyway, background color approach is very nice, easily distinguishable character categories, great. Editing individual graphics for each char takes up too much time, but i'll try that in future. But adding character entity name should be little easier. ~ Tarikash 21:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC).[reply]
