TO ANYONE WHO IS ABOUT TO ADD A LANGUAGE SECTION:
Do not specify font families in span style. It makes the page next to useless (modern browsers have support for almost any language you can think of, testing of the operating system's language support is far more relevant). When the font family is not specified the browser uses system default, thus testing both the language support of the browser AND the operating system simultaneously. This page wasn't made to SHOWCASE rendering of obscure language fonts, it was made to TEST it.

Articles on Wikipedia are encoded using [[Unicode]] (specifically [[UTF-8]])<ref>Until June 2005, when MediaWiki 1.5 came into use on the Wikimedia projects, articles on the English Wikipedia were encoded using [[ISO/IEC 8859-1]] (although the additional characters from the [[Windows-1252]] character set were used in practice.) All characters from the [[ISO/IEC 10646]] Universal Character Set could be accessed through numerical entities, as specified by the HTML 4.01 specification. Since, nearly all pages have been converted to use Unicode directly.</ref>, an [[industry standard]] designed to allow [[text]] and symbols from all of the [[writing systems]] of the world to be consistently represented and manipulated by [[computer]]s. Because UTF-8 is [[backwards compatible]] with [[ASCII]], and most modern browsers have at least basic Unicode support, most users will experience little difficulty reading and editing Wikipedia.
Articles on Wikipedia are encoded using [[Unicode]] (specifically [[UTF-8]])<ref group="lower-alpha">Until June 2005, when MediaWiki 1.5 came into use on the Wikimedia projects, articles on the English Wikipedia were encoded using [[ISO/IEC 8859-1]] (although the additional characters from the [[Windows-1252]] character set were used in practice.) All characters from the [[ISO/IEC 10646]] Universal Character Set could be accessed through numerical entities, as specified by the HTML 4.01 specification.

Because UTF-8 is [[backward compatible]] with [[ASCII]], and most modern browsers have at least basic Unicode support, most users will experience little difficulty reading and editing most of Wikipedia.

For older browsers, MediaWiki, the Wikipedia software, serves the wikitext in a safe mode upon editing. Characters that cannot be represented in [[ASCII]] are temporarily converted to [[hexadecimal]] [[Numeric character reference|character references]], looking like &amp;#x1234;. Existing hexadecimal character references get an additional leading zero so they are not converted to actual characters when the page is saved, and look like &amp;#x01234;. Likewise, to create a hexadecimal character reference in safe mode, not the character itself, a leading zero should be added. One can check whether safe mode is used by editing this section. If ''&#x4D;'' looks like &amp;#x04D; rather than &amp;#x4D;, safe mode is used.

Most computers with [[Microsoft Windows]] or [[Microsoft Office]] will already have several fonts with support for Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and the International Phonetic Alphabet installed. Several historic and accented characters (used in the transliteration of foreign scripts) are missing, though.
Most computers with [[Microsoft Windows]], [[Apple Inc.|Apple]]'s [[macOS]] and many [[Linux]] variants will already have fonts with support for Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] installed. Many mobile devices, such as the iPhone and iPad also include such fonts. Several historic and accented characters (used in the transliteration of foreign scripts) may be missing, though.

=== Browsers ===
;Internet Explorer: supports Latin (however not all extended sets), Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, and Hebrew. Support for East Asian and some Indic scripts is available if support for this has been installed for Windows. As Internet Explorer will only use the default font for other scripts, those are usually not supported (unless the default font does).
;Firefox: tries to render any character using all the fonts available on the system so multilingual support is generally good. The default rendering engine can support complex script rendering. Some Linux distributions ship with a [[Pango]]-based rendering engine which also does, although this may currently cause some display glitches with justified text.
;Opera: tries to render any character using all the fonts available on the system so multilingual support is also good.<ref>http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/435/</ref> Opera uses the operating system to perform contextual glyph selection, ligature forming, character stacking, combining character support and other character shaping tasks.<ref>http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/#text</ref>
;Chrome: does not directly support several languages of South and Southeast Asian countries, but otherwise renders some [[Substitute character|tofu]] signs, due to its problem of font fallback mechanism, you may need the [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/advanced-font-settings/caclkomlalccbpcdllchkeecicepbmbm Advanced Font Settings] extension to optimize. Renders Devanagari (used for Hindi), Bengali, Sinhala, Gurmukhi, and Tibetan scripts in the examples below, but not some of languages of Southeast Asian countries.

The [[Makasar script]], also known as '''Ukiri' Jangang-jangang''' (bird's script) or '''Old Makasar script''', is a historical Indonesian [[writing system]] that was used in [[South Sulawesi]] to write the [[Makassarese language]] between the 17th and 19th centuries until it was supplanted by the [[Lontara script|Lontara Bugis script]]. It is supported by the following font:

The characters for which this applies are: Ĉ, Ĝ, Ĥ, Ĵ, Ŝ, Ŭ, ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ, ŝ, ŭ. you may enter these directly in the edit box if you have the facilities to do so. However when you edit the page again you will see them encoded as Sx. This form is referred to as "x-sistemo" or "x-kodo". In order to preserve round trip capability when one or more x's follow these characters or their non-accented forms (A, G, H, J, S, U, c, g, h, j, s, u), the number of x's in the edit box is double the number in the actual stored article text.

=== Syriac / Aramaic script ===
{{anchor|Syriac}}{{anchor|Aramaic}}{{InterWiki|code=arc}}{{Incubator|code=aii|lang=Assyrian Neo-Aramaic}}
The [[Syriac alphabet|Syriac]] and [[Aramaic alphabet|Aramaic]] scripts are used to write the [[Syriac language|Syriac]] and [[Aramaic language|Aramaic]] languages. As with most [[Semitic]] scripts, these scripts flow from right to left, which can cause letters to appear in the wrong order on some left-to-right systems. The template {{tl|lang}} can fix this issue.{{fact}}

Most operating systems provide support for Syriac scripts natively, but only the ''Maḏnḥāyā'' ({{Script/Mdnh|ܡܕܢܚܝܐ}}) and ''ʾEsṭrangēlā'' ({{Script/Strng|ܐܣܛܪܢܓܠܐ}}) varieties have correct rendering.<ref group="lower-alpha">Microsoft Windows support the ''ʾEsṭrangēlā'' variety via Estrangelo Edessa and Segoe UI. Historically, some Linux distributions supported ''Maḏnḥāyā'' variety via FreeSans.</ref> In order to render the ''Serṭā'' ({{Script/Serto|ܣܪܛܐ}}) variety, additional fonts are needed. They are supported by the following fonts:
* <s>[http://www.atour.com/fonts/ Aramaic Fonts]</s> '''NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SYRIAC/ARAMAIC:''' It uses code points from other languages and thus will cause other languages to render incorrectly

The Romanian alphabet contain an [[S-comma]] (Ș ș) and [[T-comma]] (Ț ț). These character were added to Unicode 3.0 at the request of the Romanian standardization institute. Font support for these characters is poor, so the Romanian Wikipedia represents these letters with an [[S-cedilla]] (Ş ş) and [[T-cedilla]] (Ţ ţ) instead.<ref>See also [[:ro:Wikipedia:Diacritice]]</ref>
The Romanian alphabet contains an [[S-comma]] (Ș ș) and [[T-comma]] (Ț ț). These characters were added to Unicode 3.0 (September 1999) at the request of the Romanian standardization institute. As font support for these characters has been poor in the past, many computer users use the similar characters [[S-cedilla]] (Ş ş) and [[T-cedilla]] (Ţ ţ) instead. However, on Wikipedia it is recommended to use the correct characters with comma below.

Latest revision as of 20:30, 15 December 2024

Articles on the English Wikipedia may contain words or texts written in different languages and scripts. To be able to correctly view and edit these articles requires that you have the appropriate fonts installed and to have correctly configured your operating system and browser. This guide will help you to do so.

Overview

[edit]

Unicode

[edit]

Articles on Wikipedia are encoded using Unicode (specifically UTF-8)[a], an industry standard designed to allow text and symbols from all of the writing systems of the world to be consistently represented and manipulated by computers. Because UTF-8 is backward compatible with ASCII, and most modern browsers have at least basic Unicode support, most users will experience little difficulty reading and editing most of Wikipedia.

Font

[edit]

Most computers with Microsoft Windows, Apple's macOS and many Linux variants will already have fonts with support for Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and the International Phonetic Alphabet installed. Many mobile devices, such as the iPhone and iPad also include such fonts. Several historic and accented characters (used in the transliteration of foreign scripts) may be missing, though.

Microsoft fonts

[edit]

Other available Unicode fonts

[edit]

Bolded fonts are recommended.

Browsers

[edit]
Internet Explorer
supports Latin (however not all extended sets), Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, and Hebrew. Support for East Asian and some Indic scripts is available if support for this has been installed for Windows. As Internet Explorer will only use the default font for other scripts, those are usually not supported (unless the default font does).
Firefox
tries to render any character using all the fonts available on the system so multilingual support is generally good. The default rendering engine can support complex script rendering. Some Linux distributions ship with a Pango-based rendering engine which also does, although this may currently cause some display glitches with justified text.
Opera
tries to render any character using all the fonts available on the system so multilingual support is also good.[5] Opera uses the operating system to perform contextual glyph selection, ligature forming, character stacking, combining character support and other character shaping tasks.[6]
Chrome
does not directly support several languages of South and Southeast Asian countries, but otherwise renders some tofu signs, due to its problem of font fallback mechanism, you may need the Advanced Font Settings extension to optimize. Renders Devanagari (used for Hindi), Bengali, Sinhala, Gurmukhi, and Tibetan scripts in the examples below, but not some of languages of Southeast Asian countries.

Scripts

[edit]

Adlam

[edit]

Adlam is a right-to-left alphabetic script devised by the brothers Ibrahima and Abdoulaye Barry, in order to represent the Fula language (Fulani). It is supported by the following fonts:

Syriac / Aramaic script

[edit]

The Syriac and Aramaic scripts are used to write the Syriac and Aramaic languages. As with most Semitic scripts, these scripts flow from right to left, which can cause letters to appear in the wrong order on some left-to-right systems. The template {{lang}} can fix this issue.[citation needed]

Most operating systems provide support for Syriac scripts natively, but only the Maḏnḥāyā (ܡܕܢܚܝܐ‎) and ʾEsṭrangēlā (ܐܣܛܪܢܓܠܐ‎) varieties have correct rendering.[c] In order to render the Serṭā (ܣܪܛܐ‎) variety, additional fonts are needed. They are supported by the following fonts:

Special cases

[edit]

Romanian

[edit]

The Romanian alphabet contains an S-comma (Ș ș) and T-comma (Ț ț). These characters were added to Unicode 3.0 (September 1999) at the request of the Romanian standardization institute. As font support for these characters has been poor in the past, many computer users use the similar characters S-cedilla (Ş ş) and T-cedilla (Ţ ţ) instead. However, on Wikipedia it is recommended to use the correct characters with comma below.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Until June 2005, when MediaWiki 1.5 came into use on the Wikimedia projects, articles on the English Wikipedia were encoded using ISO/IEC 8859-1 (although the additional characters from the Windows-1252 character set were used in practice.) All characters from the ISO/IEC 10646 Universal Character Set could be accessed through numerical entities, as specified by the HTML 4.01 specification. Since then, nearly all pages have been converted to use Unicode directly. Old discussion on the topic can be read at Wikipedia talk:Unicode.
  2. ^ Not to be confused with MS Sans Serif
  3. ^ Microsoft Windows support the ʾEsṭrangēlā variety via Estrangelo Edessa and Segoe UI. Historically, some Linux distributions supported Maḏnḥāyā variety via FreeSans.
