Template:Unicode navigation
Usage
lemba- The box is aimed at Unicode-related pages. Guidelines do recommend not to create a box with numerous entries, like with names of 165 Unicode-blocks.
This template's initial visibility currently defaults to collapsed, meaning that it is hidden apart from its title bar.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:
{{Unicode navigation|state=expanded}}will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.{{Unicode navigation|state=autocollapse}}will show the template autocollapsed, i.e. if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar, but if not, it is fully visible.
Unicode terms used
lemba- A block in Unicode is a named, single continuous group of code points, e.g. Miscellaneous Symbols Unicode block with range U+2600–26FF. Each character is in one block. A block can include non/assigned code points, non/character codepoints etcetera.
- A script is related to speech (like the alphabet), symbols are related to their meaning (like chess-symbols). Symbols also include controls and Unicode-specials like Byte order mark(BOM). All defined Unicode characters are either in a script or a symbol.
- Charts are examples of glyphs, i.e. a rendered character (the "A" you read)
- Due to legacy character sets like ASCII, and due to intended usage of Unicode, multiple issues arise from pairs of characters with an overlapping meaning etc.
- Special characters have a Unicode-defined behavior.
- Miscellaneous lists are lists of characters that are not in one block. Cultural symbols like religious crosses are in different blocks.
Unicode version
lemba- Scripts: Unicode as of version 5.2; Batak, Brāhmī, Mandaic: added as per version 6.0
