This name for the set is used in several places

Create link as most people call this a "letter", not a "vowel"

Might as well add a redirect that actually matches the chapter title

Created this as I typed this term myself, and I think it is not uncommon

New document containing a lot of bloat that was being dumped into the [[UTF-8]] page

That article has a link to document about this

Allow this medical term to work.

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1355615942|1355615942]] by [[Special:Contributions/Prothe1st|Prothe1st]] ([[User talk:Prothe1st|talk]]) Actually it was correct change

/* Windows */ No, you COULD NOT type box-drawing symbols. You could only type symbols that were in the Windows Code page.

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1354032345|1354032345]] by [[Special:Contributions/CubicAutomaton48|CubicAutomaton48]] ([[User talk:CubicAutomaton48|talk]]) Probably useful description but it needs to go in intro

/* top */ Remove sentence that is repeated below and does not appear to be the main point of the thought experiment.

/* top */ There is a much better picture of a printing drum below, and it is in a better position in the article, too

Remove text that rather clumsily describes what every computer manufacturer did, change link to extended ascii, also Wang PC was not a PC compatible by any contemporary definition of that term

/* Other control functions */ Fix unwanted word-wrap

/* In Unicode */

/* Uses of ( ) */

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1351523976|1351523976]] by [[Special:Contributions/FireStar2424|FireStar2424]] ([[User talk:FireStar2424|talk]]) Link is to wrong space park

/* Error handling */ Rearranged sentences which were out of order, merged identical refs

/* Description */ Remove confusing using statements, and remove incorrect use of a string (which may have unknown contents) as the format argument to print.

/* Algorithms */

/* 2020s: std::print */ bit more wording fixes

/* 1960s: BCPL and ALGOL 68 */

/* 2020s: std::print */ Removed nonsense, 1950's fortran did not bother to check if the args matched the format string

/* Criticism */

/* 2020s: std::print */

/* 2020s: std::print */ Rewrote this section to be accurate as to what does what and less gushy, plus listed the real winning aspects of new system

/* 2000s: -Wformat safety */ That is not C++ only

/* top */ Link is to wrong subject, and 'reset' did not clear the screen or command history (it reset terminals, mostly to get them out of graphics mode).

/* Occurrence */

/* top */ Restore the reason this is at all interesting, but much shorter

/* top */ Maybe this is acceptable?

/* Digits */

/* Greek letters and symbols */ more normal-sized letters

/* Latin letters */ Let's try normal-sized letters

/* Tables of styled letters and digits */

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1349963129|1349963129]] by [[Special:Contributions/Opwritten|Opwritten]] ([[User talk:Opwritten|talk]]) Restore picture that shows entire device. There is a good screen shot showing quality and LOWERCASE letters below

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1349788885|1349788885]] by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-23876-04|~2026-23876-04]] ([[User talk:~2026-23876-04|talk]]) UTF8-String object seems much more a c# thing that a .NET thing. Json library does not use UTF8-strings in it's api (it uses UTF-16 and Span)

/* Functionality */

/* top */ Rewrote lead, will put links to alternatives in later section

/* Occurrence */

/* Programming languages */

/* Usage */ Move references that appear to have more to do with C# than NET, removed Json parser as it does not provide any non-UTF-16 api.

/* History */ Moved info here, rearranged to be chronological

/* top */ I'm going to move this to history section

/* Missing characters */

/* Missing characters */ Probably ok to skip minus sign, I added that but I think most people are happy with using the en dash for it.

/* Coverage */ Rearranged to put all the missing symbols together. Removed superscripts as most systems already contained a method of making superscripts of any characters.

/* Punctuation and ornaments */ Use same code as unichar template, move the comment next to correct span

/* Uses of half precision */ Speed increase is much more than 2 in many cases

/* Web usage */ Removed what looks like left-over text from edits

Remove duplicate text

Move the whitewashing out of top section, kept the main piece (which I HOPE is accurate) and pasted it in UTF-8 section. "supporting UTF-8" should be defined as "fopen() can accept a UTF-8 filename without system settings being changed"

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1346649164|1346649164]] by [[Special:Contributions/M.Bitton|M.Bitton]] ([[User talk:M.Bitton|talk]]) This change is ok whether or not the pages are changed

/* Mathematics and science */

[[WP:AES|←]]Changed redirect target from [[Arabic numerals]] to [[Western digits]]

[[WP:AES|←]]Changed redirect target from [[Western digits]] to [[Arabic numerals (disambiguation)]]

Attempt to remove "Arabic numerals" from many parts of this text, replaced variously with "Western digits", "the digits", or "decimal" for the numbers instead of the digits

Spitzak moved page [[Arabic numerals]] to [[Western digits]] over redirect: Perform requested move, see talk page: Previous name was ambiguous and meant a different subject to many readers

Spitzak moved page [[Arabic numerals]] to [[Western digits]] over redirect: Perform requested move, see talk page: Previous name was ambiguous and meant a different subject to many readers

Proposed change to make the symbols less prominent and list in approximate order of popularity

/* Windows */ Remove some unnecessary bloat, remove implication that early Windows used Unicode

This article is about the symbols used in Europe, which were NOT the symbols used when base-10 was introduced to Arabia from India.

/* New York Post incident */

/* New York Post incident */ One ref states that a "container of plastic fetuses" was tossed off table
