Line 254:
For scripts such as [[Template:Unicode chart Mongolian|Mongolian]] and [[Template:Unicode chart Phags-pa|Phags-pa]] which are written in vertical columns, the glyphs in the font have horizontal orientation so that complete runs of horizontal text can be rotated into vertical orientation by a higher level protocol (commonly [[CSS]]). Currently, in our code charts we rotate the glyphs into vertical orientation. This used to match the Unicode code charts, which used to show vertically-oriented glyphs for Mongolian and Phags-pa, but a few years back the editor of the Unicode code charts deliberately changed the Mongolian and Phags-pa code charts to show horizontally-oriented glyphs to reflect how the glyphs are represented at the font level. My question is, should we continue to rotate glyphs in the dynamic Mongolian and Phags-pa charts or should we leave them in horizontal orientation to match the current Unicode code charts? My preference is to rotate into vertical orientation as this matches user expectation (it is how Mongolian and Phags-pa glyphs are presented in books on these scripts).

:I don't have a strong preference, although I do think Unicode showing them horizontally seems strange. Vertical seems better. [[User:Drmccreedy|DRMcCreedy]] ([[User talk:Drmccreedy|talk]]) 17:28, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
== Unicode 13.0 ==
Unicode 13.0 will be released in March. Can we complete outstanding work on the Unicode chart module by then? Or shall we continue to use the old Unicode chart templates for the Unicode 13 update? [[User:BabelStone|BabelStone]] ([[User talk:BabelStone|talk]]) 10:16, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
== The cell displayed for U+E003B (TAG SEMICOLON) contains a colon in a dashed box instead of a semicolon ==
The chart shown on page [[Tags_(Unicode_block)]] shows the various tag characters as their normal version in a dashed box, but the character shown in the box for U+E003B (TAG SEMICOLON) is a colon instead of a semicolon. I'm not quite sure where/how to update the template. [[Special:Contributions/81.107.76.114|81.107.76.114]] ([[User talk:81.107.76.114|talk]]) 00:29, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
== Missing end tag for table ==
{{Ping|Cobaltcigs|Erutuon}} {{Tl|Unicode chart}} has little usage guidance, and I came to [[Module talk:Unicode chart]] (this very page), which has 6 missing end tags for {{tag|table}}, all associated with {{Tl|Unicode chart}}. So I went to [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Unicode chart|Pages that link to "Template:Unicode chart"]]. There are 6 pages that transclude {{Tl|Unicode chart}}, and they all have missing end tags for {{tag|table}}.
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)
::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)
::[[User:Erutuon|Erutuon]]: Thank you for taking care of this! —[[User:Anomalocaris|Anomalocaris]] ([[User talk:Anomalocaris|talk]]) 22:59, 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:
* '''Testcases:''' [[Template:Unicode chart/sandbox/testcases]]
