Notes
1.^ As of Unicode version 13.0

The block has eleven variation sequences defined for standardized variants.[3] They use U+FE00 VARIATION SELECTOR-1 (VS01) to denote the dotted letters used for the Khamti, Aiton, and Phake languages.[4] (Note that this is font dependent. For example, the Padauk font supports some of the dotted forms.)

  1. Proposed code points and characters names may differ from final code points and names
gollark: Some programs still use it for whatever mysterious reason.
gollark: videogame_hacker: rednet no longer uses textutils.unserialise because you can natively send tables.
gollark: aj224, are you pjals?
gollark: The block scanner works for CC.
gollark: My tape metadata format has become weirdly popular despite being quite poorly designed, so now there are two player things and three encoders.
