1.4 Character Test View in a new window

Example

Character test

The following table has some sample characters with annotations. If the browser’s default font does not contain all of them, they may get displayed using backup fonts. This may cause stylistic differences, but it should not prevent the characters from being displayed at all.

Char. Explanation Notes
ê e with circumflex Latin 1 character, should be ok
— em dash Windows Latin 1 character, should be ok, too
Ā A with macron (line above) Latin Extended-A character, not present in all fonts
Ω capital omega A Greek letter
− minus sign Unicode minus
⌀ diameter sign relatively rare in fonts
