Old Tagalog/Baybayin[edit]
The text sample contains U+170D which is not assigned a character in Unicode 9.0. It looks from the image like it should actually be U+1707 (DA). Nukeqler (talk) 19:10, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
- See Baybayin#Representation of the character "Ra". DRMcCreedy (talk) 21:56, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
- User Nukeqler is right. I can't spot any difference between unassigned U+170D (used for "ra") and U+1707 (letter "da") either. Moreover it seems strange to state that "U+010D is becoming the de facto standard for representing the character Ra" when of all the fonts mentioned here only Paul Morrow's Baybayin Fonts contain a glyph for character U+010D while the others are fully Unicode compliant and lead to a faulty display of the sample text that has a legacy instead of a Unicode encoding. This help page should at least warn users or better replace all occurrences of U+170D with U+1707.
- On this issue see also page 7 of https://www.unicode.org/notes/tn35/indonesian-philippine.pdf "A new ‹r› letter." Love —LiliCharlie (talk) 14:01, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- I don't see any Unicode proposals to add TAGALOG LETTER RA and since newer Unicode fonts don't include it I'd say U+170D is no longer de facto. My suggestion is to update the sample text to use U+1707 instead of U+170D. A note could be added to state that some fonts include a separate, non-standard R at position U+170D. Page 7 of https://www.unicode.org/notes/tn35/indonesian-philippine.pdf is definitely helpful but TAGALOG LETTER RA didn't seem to make it into any of the Baybayin/Tagalog Unicode proposals.

I have discovered another issue with our Baybayin sample: Only U+1736 PHILIPPINE DOUBLE PUNCTUATION (which looks like a double slash) should be used in this script as a punctuation mark, see p. 5 of http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode10.0.0/ch17.pdf. I have decided to produce and upload an SVG that has U+1736 at the end of each line and uses U+1707 instead of U+170D. The text now reads:
ᜀᜅ᜔ ᜊᜏᜆ᜔ ᜆᜂ ᜀᜌ᜔ ᜁᜐᜒᜈᜒᜎᜅ᜔ ᜈ ᜋᜌ᜔ ᜃᜇᜉᜆᜈ᜔᜶
ᜀᜆ᜔ ᜉᜈ᜔ᜆᜌ᜔ ᜐ ᜇᜒᜄ᜔ᜈᜒᜇᜇ᜔᜶
ᜀᜆ᜔ ᜃᜇᜉᜆᜈ᜔ ᜀᜅ᜔ ᜆᜂ ᜀᜌ᜔ ᜊᜒᜈᜒᜌᜌᜀᜈ᜔ ᜅ᜔ ᜉᜄᜒᜁᜐᜒᜉ᜔᜶

Any comments are welcome. Love —LiliCharlie (talk) 20:44, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
Sorry for waiting for you all! Unicode 14.0 has got u+170d for “Tagalog letter ra” Baokhang48812002 (talk) 14:38, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- In fact, Unicode 14.0 includes both U+170D TAGALOG LETTER RA and U+171F TAGALOG LETTER ARCHAIC RA. See the Unicode proposal for the details. DRMcCreedy (talk) 16:06, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Unicode 14.0 fonts[edit]
I want to know where to download support fonts for unicode 14.0. --Kankachi1980Kan (talk) 23:49, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
Updating browser support (2022)[edit]
The browser support section speaks of Internet Explorer and not of Microsoft Edge, which suggests to me that it hasn't recently been tested in modern browsers. —Octavo (talk) 02:48, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
About Samaritan font[edit]
Google already released Noto Sans Samaritan, I wonder if someone would add that to the page since it would be helpful --Ternatean Libra (talk) 08:56, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
Kaktovik numerals[edit]
Kaktovik numerals were added to Unicode recently (v15.0). While not a script, shouldn't Kaktovik numerals be added to the list, for font support? DePiep (talk) 12:22, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
- Done. DRMcCreedy (talk) 16:32, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
Scripts check[edit]
Has this page been crosschecked for all Unicode scripts being present and findable? Listed here and {{ISO 15924/overview-4id}} are the 166. DePiep (talk) 17:43, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
