message: In Firefox 1.5, when I select Vietnamese special characters, I get a list of special Romanian characters instead.  Romanian seems to have switched with something else.  It seems to work as expected on IE. DHN 12:36, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  It is supposed to be the sign for the german Pfennig, but it is deprecated, so not very important. Do the capital A and Y with umlauts (not trema's) look good? I had to use combining diacritical marks for those. —Ruud 02:30, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  The pfennig sign does show up if you have a font installed that supports it, so I replaced it. But I removed some characters that aren't used in German. The characters you're calling "with umlauts (not tremas)" actually had double-acute accents, which are used only in Hungarian. ℳ isn't used in writing German, and neither are Ÿ ÿ. --Angr (tɔk) 07:09, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The Korean alphabet doesn't really work linearly. The Korean letter for s is ㅅ, a is ㅏ, and k is ㄱ, but the syllable sak isn't ㅅㅏㄱ, it's 삭. So unless we want to add characters for every possible Korean syllable (I don't), it's probably best not to offer Korean as a menu option. --Angr (tɔk) 19:33, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
