Talk:Unicode/Character reference

Give abbreviation meanings
I like to use this table for reference, but the headings "BMP 	SMP 	SIP 	SSP 	PU" make no sense - could they be linked to what they stand for? --WiseWoman (discuss • contribs) 20:28, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Could we maybe add headers that you can actually click on to reach that part onto the section pages
Note: Put it here as this is the only page in common with all the section pages NP240211WM (discuss • contribs) 10:16, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Use templates for colours
This is the same idea in the archived post Talk:Unicode/Character reference/Archive 1. But my suggestions for the template names are:
 * Template:1.0
 * Template:1.0.1
 * Template:1.1
 * Template:2.0
 * Template:2.1
 * Template:3.0
 * Template:3.1
 * Template:3.2
 * Template:4.0
 * Template:4.1
 * Template:5.0
 * Template:5.1
 * Template:5.2
 * Template:6.0
 * Template:6.1
 * Template:6.2
 * Template:6.3
 * Template:7.0
 * Template:8.0
 * Template:9.0
 * Template:10.0
 * Template:11.0
 * Template:12.0
 * Template:12.1
 * Template:13.0
 * Template:14.0
 * Template:15.0
 * Template:15.1
 * Template:Pua
 * Template:Sur
 * Template:Res
 * Template:Nch

I think the current colour scheme is too confusing, with some colours being too similar, like the ones for 13.0 and 14.0. But changing the colour scheme is too tedious, and the colour scheme is inconsistent and not documented properly while its being changed, that is probably why the colour scheme hasn't seen too much improvement over the years. The templates should be created with the current colours to avoid inconsistency, and after they are fully implemented, the colour scheme should be improved.

 * Please use Template:Pua for private use characters. Currently, they appear in the background colour, not necessarily white. So they actually appear black in dark mode. This is a problem because black is the colour for noncharacters. Template:Pua specifies a white background. Grey Clownfish (discuss • contribs) 09:56, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
