: I can't find a file in the Unicode Character Database that lists the display forms for the dotted box characters. They aren't in [https://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/NamesList.txt NamesList.txt], which is parsed into the PDF that you linked to. So they would have to be gathered manually from the PDFs, unless they can be found somewhere else. — [[User:Erutuon|Eru]]·[[User talk:Erutuon|tuon]] 04:13, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

::As far as I know, there isn't anything in the UCD. I've always determined dotted box notation manually. BTW: I think the <s>display_20xx</s> parms above are appropriate. [[User:Drmccreedy|DRMcCreedy]] ([[User talk:Drmccreedy|talk]]) 04:40, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

:If we do want the corrections to appear below the boldface name, similarly to aliases (see [https://i.imgur.com/1O4YOPz.png screenshot from ''ye olde localhoste'']), I'm ready to update this module accordingly. Note: I did check [[Module:Unicode data/aliases|the list]] and confirm no codepoint has both a correction and an alias. Perhaps we also want some kind of footnote explaining aliases and corrections to the reader, but I'll hold off on that. ―[[special:contributions/cobaltcigs|cobaltcigs]] 13:55, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Also new is the black line indicating skipped rows. Seems like a helpful feature.

So, my request is either abandon this project, or write some usage notes that include how to use it without leaving a missing end tags lint error for {{tag|table}}. —[[User:Anomalocaris|Anomalocaris]] ([[User talk:Anomalocaris|talk]]) 07:32, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

: [[User:Vanisaac|Vanisaac]] mistakenly [[Special:Diff/1168432448|got rid of]] the end of the table (<code>|}</code>) while inserting this module into [[Template:Unicode chart]]. [[User:SWinxy|SWinxy]] [[Special:Diff/1169564617|added it back]], but inside the noinclude tag. I just moved it so that it was transcluded. I'm not sure the module should be in the template at this point because it's still marked as "pre-alpha" and hasn't been worked on since 2019, but I'm not going to try to evaluate that. — [[User:Erutuon|Eru]]·[[User talk:Erutuon|tuon]] 20:48, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

: I have inserted 6 {{tag|table|c}} tags on this page, which improves its appearance and fixes the lint errors, but this is not necessarily the right way to do it. —[[User:Anomalocaris|Anomalocaris]] ([[User talk:Anomalocaris|talk]]) 07:40, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

::Ah thank you. I must've thought that Module:Unicode chart somehow emitted a |} upon transclusion of this template, but not when the module was invoked, hence why I put the |} in the noinclude. [[User:SWinxy|SWinxy]] ([[User talk:SWinxy|talk]]) 21:38, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

== Trying again from scratch ==

When I stumbled across this (April 2024) [[Template:Unicode chart]] wasn't working and no one seemed to be actively working on it. I sent a message to [[User:Cobaltcigs]] (the last person who edited [[Module:Unicode chart]] and when I didn't hear back, I went ahead and started trying to build by own version in the sandbox. The pages I'm using are:

* '''Lua:''' [[Module:Unicode chart/sandbox]]

* '''CSS:''' [[Template:Unicode chart/sandbox/styles.css]]

* '''Template:''' [[Template:Unicode chart/sandbox]]

After a couple days, I've created something that works in the majority of testcases, although there are still some edgecases for unusual characters that still need to be ironed out. You can see my version at:
