This is with reference to the current
Wikipedia Logo. The leftmost jigsaw piece along the equator of the globe in the image has text written in
Hindi. However, from the way it appears in the logo, it seems that it was created on a software that did not have Indic Language Support. Hence, what should be appears as File:InCorrect hindi vi.png. It is our earnest request that this be changed to (which is how it would appear if written in the
Devanagari script). The present symbol does not make any sense. Please refer
Wikipedia:Enabling complex text support for Indic scripts for reference.

Umm...the logo is on every single Wikipedia page (which is probably around 3,000,000 including redirects and all namespaces.) Do we want a mistake on something that you see everywhere? --TeckWiz is now
