Redirect

I noticed that "●" redirects here. Should I put a notice at the start of the page that there is a Pearl Jam song called "●" on their album Yield? Tezkag72 (talk) 01:57, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ehh, I did it. If anyone wants to remove it, they can. Tezkag72 (talk) 14:06, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Only fonts?

The part that says those are the only fonts that got allt he glyphs, seems like a very limited analysis of all fonts there are out there, the site that says the only fonts with 100% coverage doesn't actually says that, it just got a list of fonts and how much they cover --TiagoTiago (talk) 22:23, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to edit it. I can easily see that FreeMono (the Courier equivalence in the GNU Free Fonts) covers all these glyphs. And, those who made the Unicode proposal will probably have prepared such a font. A statement that says only two fonts have 100% coverage is inaccurate. --Ahyangyi (talk) 17:28, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hamiltonian operator?

Why does the "WHITE DOWN-POINTING TRIANGLE" refer to the Hamiltonian operator in Quantum mechanics? This has nothing to do with it. Maybe it should instead refer to "Nabla Symbol"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.175.209.96 (talk) 11:20, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

White Square alternate usage

Typically, the white square character (□) is used to indicate the absence of an ideograph in software that is trying to render it. Is this an official thing, or only common convention? Do we have a source for it, and can we include that information in Wikipedia? Kidburla (talk) 02:50, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No 'DOTTED SQUARE' character?

This page has DOTTED CIRCLE(◌ U+25CC) character but no corresponding DOTTED SQUARE(⬚ U+2B1A) character.

Shouldn't the latter be included?

BridgeKang (talk) 05:21, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No. This page is for the Unicode block containing the characters from code point U+25A0 to code point U+25FF (decimal 9632 to 9727). U+25CC DOTTED CIRCLE (decimal 9676) falls within this range, but U+2B1A DOTTED SQUARE (decimal 11034) falls outside it, as 25FF₁₆ < 2B1A₁₆. U+2B1A belongs to Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows and is found there. — oatco (talk) 11:48, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
