List Diacritics in Unicode edit
I have added § Diacritics in Unicode: {{Diacritics in Unicode}} (224 rows).
Not (yet) used: {{Diacritics in Unicode/non-Latin}}. -DePiep (talk) 07:01, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
Reason to use serif with dotted circle edit
The short explanation of why has been necessary to use span style="font-family: serif" in each case where the diacritic is being demonstrated against a dotted circle (as "neutral grey background") is to mitigate a rendering limitation in Android (as of v13), that its default sans font fails to render "dotted circle + diacritic", so visitors just get a meaningless (to most) [X] mark.
For the longer explanation, see template talk:Unichar#Combining diacritics are displaying as tofu on Android - fault may be in cwith= handling?. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 15:19, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
Diacritics that do not produce new letters v Languages with letters containing diacritics edit
Can anyone explain why the section Diacritic#Diacritics that do not produce new letters exists? Is there any reason not to merge it into Diacritic#Languages with letters containing diacritics? As far as I know (which is not very far at all) the only case of where a letter+diacritic is considered unique and distinct for sort order, is ñ in Spanish (as is or was ll). If we really need to go into that detail (and I question that too), surely the section should be about those few exceptions. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 17:50, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
