message: :The following was posted to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Typography#Unicode tables:
Hi folks.  Some articles contains table grids of Unicode glyphs.  Each grid row contains information on several Unicode code points.  Each grid cell contains several sub-elements for a particular code point.  See, for example, [Letterlike Symbols].  I find this layout extremely confusing and hard to use.  I would like to change it to a more linear table, with one code point per row.  Something roughly like the table in Miscellaneous Symbols.  Comments?  Objections? —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 18:36, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Sounds like a plan. The current version is too hard to use.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.139.81.0 (talk) 07:24, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

message: That table is really hard to read, the two rows "per row" thing? WTF? Also this is like a reference if anything, I want to know about the block, and a list of symbols is good for that, but this goes way way beyond that.

thread_title:  Bad table and too long - I want to know about the block not wade through a technical reference! 

message: Table should link through to lists of fonts which support the symbol.  Such a list exists here: https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/search.htm  with predictable URL search results e.g. https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2300/fontsupport.htm  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.73.171.36 (talk) 15:00, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. Fonts change, new ones get added. Creating and maintaining such a list is beyond the scope of Wikipedia see policy WP:NOTHOWTO. Fileformat.info doesn't give a table for whole block,it requires the user to search for a specific code (and see another advertisement), so is not even suitable to go in External Links.  --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 18:15, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

text: I disagree as well for the same reason as Friedman.  I think a link to other sites that maintain such information, if they exist, is enough. DRMcCreedy (talk) 21:25, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
