Redirect for Unicode characters ⚞ and ⚟

The symbols ⚞ and ⚟ appears in the Unicode block for Miscellaneous Symbols. The wikilinks ⚞ and ⚟ redirect to this article, but the article itself nothing whatsoever to explain what ⚞ and ⚟ are or any other information about these glyphs. I request either that this information necessary information (preferably with references) be added to this article, or the redirects changed to lead to a more appropriate article. - Gilgamesh (talk) 13:39, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Caption formatting

How come this section is not sourced, and pretty much only from the anglosphere? I would happily add something from Poland, but no idea where from should I even source it. SkywalkerPL (talk) 11:01, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

There's a Polish version of Wikipedia. How about you try that?

Also funny that you ask why there is no sauce and then immediately state that you wouldn't even know where to get sauce from?

Bro, you're retarded. 2A02:8108:96C0:3948:CDAF:E81A:E652:1B99 (talk) 20:00, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

WTF does this bullshit mean?

"Other uses have included providing a textual alternative language translation of a presentation's primary audio language that is usually burned-in (or "open") to the video and unselectable."

'burned-in (or "open")'???

What the fuck is that supposed to mean? 2A02:8108:96C0:3948:CDAF:E81A:E652:1B99 (talk) 19:56, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

It says under the "Terminology" section, "The term "closed" (versus "open") indicates that the captions are not visible until activated by the viewer, usually via the remote control or menu option. On the other hand, "open", "burned-in", "baked on", "hard-coded", or simply "hard" captions are visible to all viewers as they are embedded in the video." While it is not sourced, that should answer your question. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 19:59, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, I saw it after reading on and was about to comment on that.

I think it's confusing to start using weird terminology and only defining it afterwards.

Anglo-subhumans really come up with the weirdest shit. 2A02:8108:96C0:3948:CDAF:E81A:E652:1B99 (talk) 20:10, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
