While I like the idea for this article. It could use some elaboration. I think there is some ambiguity over whether the Greek/Mathematics characters and the Roman Numerals actually constitute duplicate characters. I know that Unicode has some, but I just don't think those are them. My understanding is the characters termed compatibility characters are the primary place where we'll find duplicate characters, but those are not clearly documented elsewhere that I've been able to find. In the mean-time I think we could keep the sections we have as sort of grey areas. --Cplot 09:02, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article basically addresses three things: Unicode compatibility characters and Unicode equivalence and Letterlike Symbols, and might fully be merged into these. dab (𒁳) 12:40, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page needs info on how to view it properly. I'm using Firefox and selecting "unicode" as the character encoding doesn't display all the glyphs correctly - presumably because some are missing from the font being used. How then can I see all the glyphs? Really that info should be included in the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pbhj (talkcontribs) 00:08, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
