![]() | This article was nominated for merging with Character encoding on February 1, 2012. The result of the discussion was to keep the articles separate. |
۞ Someone showed some concerned about that page being an indiscriminate collection of information, may be, but this is very usefull to find quickly some interesting characters, the most usefull page I manage to find up to now, on about 25 samples! So I guess some more information about the unicode could help the integration.
Remark : it would be very useful to have pointors on specific group mainly thinking about symbols : emoticons, chess, cards etc... Took me almost 5 minutes to find a smily!
Some more wishes :
Greetings LFR
No, it seems that no other web page give an easy full access, thanks for suppressing this usefull information, lucky I saved it off line !!! --- being strict about definitions of what is an encyclopedy and what is not is not going to be useful when it goes against practical access to information !! --- If I was a bit dummer ans paranoïd I would see that as an attempt to restrict the access to these kind of information !!!
The result of the move request was: Move. Jafeluv ( talk) 20:52, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Per WP:CAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles. It wasn't upcased in the article text itself. I can't see a good reason to upcase the title. Tony (talk) 06:10, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
I'm wondering if this article should exist at all.
This doesn't really seem like encyclopedic content. If it were brought up to WP standards of quality, the list would be HUGE (as you might as well include any character or combination of characters that any programming language would have a special name for, such as -> or !=). -- Bigpeteb ( talk) 18:13, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
