A help page to help you describe Unicode characters.

After you put a Unicode character, you need to describe whatever that is put here:

Latin letters

[edit]

Start with "ʟᴀᴛɪɴ ʟᴇᴛᴛᴇʀ"[1] for Latin letters after putting the character before describing what letter it is to hint that it is a Latin letter.

Cyrillic letters

[edit]

Start with "ᴄʏʀɪʟʟɪᴄ ʟᴇᴛᴛᴇʀ"[2] for Cyrillic letters after putting the character before describing what letter it is to hint that it is a Latin letter.

Letters of languages with unique scripts

[edit]

For languages for unique scripts, you'll have to put the language name at the start after putting the character before using "ʟᴇᴛᴛᴇʀ" and then describing what letter it is.

Emojis

[edit]

For emojis, you don't need to describe what it is in simple terms after putting the character. You just need to describe what it is.

Whitespace characters

[edit]

For whitespace characters, you need to do a similar way for the emojis; only describing what character it is after putting it, and after describing it, you need to put the acronym[1].

Values

[edit]

Before putting the character, use its value like this:

U+XXXX[3]

Make sure the value is in hexadecimal.

Combining diacritical marks

[edit]

For diacritics, referred to as "combining diacritical marks" in Unicode, you need to use "ᴄᴏᴍʙɪɴɪɴɢ ᴅɪᴀᴄʀɪᴛɪᴄᴀʟ ᴍᴀʀᴋ" after putting the character[4].
