List of Unicode characters

As of Unicode version 16.0, there are 155,063 characters with code points, covering 168 modern and historical scripts, as well as multiple symbol sets. As it is not technically possible to list all of these characters in a single Wikipedia page, this list is limited to a subset of the most important characters for English-language readers, with links to other pages which list the supplementary characters. This article includes the 1,062 characters in the Multilingual European Character Set 2 (MES-2) subset, and some additional related characters.
HTML and XML provide ways to reference Unicode characters when the characters themselves either cannot or should not be used. A numeric character reference refers to a character by its Universal Character Set/Unicode code point, and a character entity reference refers to a character by a predefined name.
A numeric character reference uses the format
or
where nnnn is the code point in decimal form, and hhhh is the code point in hexadecimal form. The x must be lowercase in XML documents. The nnnn or hhhh may be any number of digits and may include leading zeros. The hhhh may mix uppercase and lowercase, though uppercase is the usual style.
In contrast, a character entity reference refers to a character by the name of an entity which has the desired character as its replacement text. The entity must either be predefined (built into the markup language) or explicitly declared in a Document Type Definition (DTD). The format is the same as for any entity reference:
where name is the case-sensitive name of the entity. The semicolon is required.
Because numbers are harder for humans to remember than names, character entity references are most often written by humans, while numeric character references are most often produced by computer programs.
65 characters, including DEL. All belong to the common script.
Footnotes:
The Unicode Standard (version 16.0) classifies 1,487 characters as belonging to the Latin script.
95 characters; the 52 alphabet characters belong to the Latin script. The remaining 43 belong to the common script. The 33 characters classified as ASCII Punctuation & Symbols are also sometimes referred to as ASCII special characters. Often only these characters (and not other Unicode punctuation) are what is meant when an organization says a password "requires punctuation marks".
96 characters; the 62 letters, and two ordinal indicators belong to the Latin script. The remaining 32 belong to the common script.
128 characters; all belong to the Latin script.
208 characters; all belong to the Latin script; 33 in the MES-2 subset.
256 characters; all belong to the Latin script; 23 in the MES-2 subset.
96 characters; all belong to the Latin script; three in the MES-2 subset.
80 characters; 15 in the MES-2 subset.
144 code points; 135 assigned characters; 85 in the MES-2 subset.
For polytonic orthography. 256 code points; 233 assigned characters, all in the MES-2 subset (#670 – 902).
256 characters; 191 in the MES-2 subset.
The range from U+0900 to U+0DFF includes Devanagari, Bengali script, Gurmukhi, Gujarati script, Odia alphabet, Tamil script, Telugu script, Kannada script, Malayalam script, and Sinhala script.
Other Brahmic and Indic scripts in Unicode include:
112 code points; 111 assigned characters; 24 in the MES-2 subset.
