unicodes appear as boxes

on my old pc I resolved this issue by downloading 3 fonts; I was able to see 99% of all unicodes. I sold the pc and now I can't find the fonts. does anyone know which fonts I can download to be able to see unicodes as they are instead of weird boxes?

Need help deciphering a message that I think is in Unicode?

My friend changed his name on discord to

"╬┿╣⟱◣❒▽║❐〒⊯◠〶⍍⌫⍯⍱⌘⌒⋡❋∰〠✇▒⊈◯⫸╳╘┡㈥"

and i'm trying to figure out what it means.

Can someone use small caps X and Q in a comment to this?

I can carry them to other tabs without having to copy-paste.

If you could propose any symbol and it would be added directly to Unicode, which symbol would you add?

No matter if the symbol is already used by some people or you just made it up yourself. If you could add one thing to Unicode what would it be?

Please show me all the characters of the Ancient Aymara script

So I know this belongs to Unicode but It took me forever to find the Aymara script and I need to show all the characters from the Aymara script so I can make a proposal for the Aymara script.

Is there some easy way to find a list/type of all combining characters in unicode?

CJK-centred combining characters are preferable, however whatever I can find would work. I'm trying to work with what unicode gives to make a monospace writing system that works similarly to hangul. Probably not going to work out, but might as well try and see if anyone has more knowledge than I about this.

I need help identifying this character-and it's acting weird...

I found this unicode character in some reddit post, and I don't know what it is!

When I type it, it does not let me delete it and it stays put. Here it is:

˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞ 

It is so weird, and it just looks like a pile of pixels on my screen. Some places said it was a tilde, but it looks weird.

Thanks!

Has there ever been an official proposal for a (Blades of) Grass Emoji?

Ever since childhood, I've been frustrated with the lack of a grass emoji. I've been wanting to create a document proposing it to be added, but I can't find any past submissions to see if it was suggested and rejected. Anyone here know if there is like a rejected document search because I think it's absurd it hasn't been suggested yet, I refuse to believe there hasn't been another person who proposed a grass emoji yet.

Is there a unicode character that looks exactly like "i" but isn't?

I know some alternatives for "i" like "İ" but I wanted to know if there's anything that's a bit more subtle? Like I could use it in place of an "i" and nobody would even notice?

Where did these symbols come from?

I think you can only see these Unicode characters on Samsung phones. They are all labelled "PRIVATE USE". Here they are: [  ] The first four look like a little kid's doodles, and the other 3 are like Samsung icons. Image here: [https://imgur.com/a/r3per4U](on imgur)

How to implement an improved system?

Hello, I am from Mongolia. Our traditional writing system's(Mongolian script ᠮᠣᠩᠭᠣᠯ ᠪᠢᠴᠢᠭ) unicode and it's way of typing is incredibly terrible, and I want to create a unicode for my objectively better typing system.

Our traditional script is quite similar to Arabic writing--letters have beginning, middle, and end versions and some combine with whatever vowel has been typed with it. Thank you for reading!

How to find characters that fill the wholes in some character groups?

Example: There is a full "MATHEMATICAL BOLD SCRIPT" alphabet in small and capital letters.

However, in the group "MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT", some characters are missing. For instance there is no "MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT CAPITAL B", because there already is a ℬ ("SCRIPT CAPITAL B").

So when using characters set like "MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT" in software, how would we expect to find the suitable characters to fill the gaps?

Strange holes in the character sets?

I've noticed, that there are some strange omissions in some character sets of unicode.

  • All latin letters are available as "MATHEMATICAL BOLD SCRIPT SMALL/CAPITAL (A-Z)". However, the set of "MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT SMALL/CAPITAL *" contains many holes (e.g. no CAPITAL B).

  • Similar issues with subscript and superscript characters. Many letters available, but many holes. Though, judging by some converters, a large number of characters have near equivalents, leading to e.g. the following table

    ₐbcdₑfgₕᵢⱼₖₗₘₙₒₚqᵣₛₜᵤᵥwₓyzₐBCDₑFGₕᵢⱼₖₗₘₙₒₚQᵣₛₜᵤᵥWₓYZ
    ᵃᵇᶜᵈᵉᶠᵍʰⁱʲᵏˡᵐⁿᵒᵖqʳˢᵗᵘᵛʷˣʸᶻᴬᴮᶜᴰᴱᶠᴳᴴᴵᴶᴷᴸᴹᴺᴼᴾQᴿˢᵀᵁⱽᵂˣʸᶻ

I mean, I understand. Unicode is not text formatting, and the latter leads to near complete alphabets only with some creative abuse of lookalike characters. But "MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT *" is already almost the complete 52 characters, so why not go all the way?

Even Unicode-compatible character encodings can turn into mojibake

Let's say I have Tamil text, the translation of Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human rights, it looks like this.

எல்லா மனிதர்களும் சுதந்திரமாகவும் கண்ணியத்திலும் உரிமைகளிலும் சமமாகப் பிறந்தவர்கள். அவர்கள் பகுத்தறிவும் மனசாட்சியும் கொண்டவர்கள் மற்றும் சகோதரத்துவ உணர்வோடு ஒருவருக்கொருவர் செயல்பட வேண்டும்.

Assume this is UTF8. When I convert this to UTF 16 le, it is like this:

껠늮꿠늮껠₾껠ꦮ껠꒮껠趯껠뎮꿠꺮꿠₍껠膯껠ꢮ꿠꒮껠낮껠뺮껠떮꿠꺮꿠₍껠ꎮ꿠ꎮ껠꾮껠趯껠뾮껠膯껠趯覮껠뾮껠袯껠뎮껠늮꿠꺮꿠₍껠꺮껠뺮껠ꪮ꿠₍껠뾮껠ꢮ꿠꒮껠낮꿠閮껠趯‮껠떮껠趯껠뎮꿠₍껠閮꿠꒮꿠꒮껠뾮껠膯껠趯꺮껠骮껠龮꿠骮껠꾮꿠꺮꿠₍껠誯껠趯껠떮껠趯껠뎮꿠₍껠놮꿠놮꿠꺮꿠₍껠閮꿠꒮껠꒮꿠꒮꿠떮覮껠낮꿠떮꿠龮꿠₁껠낮꿠떮껠膯껠趯껠誯껠膯껠낮꿠₍껠蚯껠늮꿠ꪮ껠₟껠螯껠趯껠膯껠趯?

That's it. Some random Chinese characters with things in between them. When I resave the Tamil text with UTF8 and use UTF 16be, it is this.

Some random arrows and Chinese characters, with a few Ns in them. Tamil is often associated with CJK.
