A help page to help you describe Unicode characters.

After you put a Unicode character, you need to describe whatever that is put here:

Latin letters

Start with "ʟᴀᴛɪɴ ʟᴇᴛᴛᴇʀ"{{Cite web |date=7 March 2025 |title=C0 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement |url=https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0000.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250311171605/https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0000.pdf |archive-date=11 March 2025 |url-status=live |website=Basic Latin}} for Latin letters after putting the character before describing what letter it is to hint that it is a Latin letter.

Cyrillic letters

Start with "ᴄʏʀɪʟʟɪᴄ ʟᴇᴛᴛᴇʀ"{{Cite web |date=7 March 2025 |title=Cyrillic (U+0400-04FF), 256 characters |url=https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0400.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250223103015/https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0400.pdf |archive-date=23 February 2025 |url-status=live |website=Cyrillic characters in Unicode}} for Cyrillic letters after putting the character before describing what letter it is to hint that it is a Latin letter.

Letters of languages with unique scripts

For languages for unique scripts, you'll have to put the language name at the start after putting the character before using "ʟᴇᴛᴛᴇʀ" and then describing what letter it is.

Emojis

For emojis, you don't need to describe what it is in simple terms after putting the character. You just need to describe what it is.

Whitespace characters

For whitespace characters, you need to do a similar way for the emojis; only describing what character it is after putting it, and after describing it, you need to put the acronym.

Values

Before putting the character, use its value like this:

U+XXXX{{Citation |title=Hexadecimal |date=2025-02-28 |work=Wikipedia |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal#Distinguising_from_decimal#Syntax_that_is_always_Hex |access-date=2025-03-08 |language=en}}{{Circular reference |date=March 2025}}

Make sure the value is in hexadecimal.

Combining diacritical marks

For diacritics, referred to as "combining diacritical marks" in Unicode, you need to use "ᴄᴏᴍʙɪɴɪɴɢ ᴅɪᴀᴄʀɪᴛɪᴄᴀʟ ᴍᴀʀᴋ" after putting the character{{Cite web |date=7 March 2025 |title=Combining Diacritical Marks |url=https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0300.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250222015042/https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0300.pdf |archive-date=22 February 2025 |url-status=live |website=Combining Diacritical Marks (U+0300-U+036F)}}.
