=== Usage ===

* The box is aimed at Unicode-related pages. Guidelines do [[Wikipedia:Navigation templatestemplate|recommendedrecommend]] not to create a box with numerous entries, like with names of 165 Unicode-blocks.

{{Collapsible option|default=collapsed}}

=== Unicode terms used===

* A '''block''' in Unicode is a named, single continuous group of code points, e.g. [[Miscellaneous Symbols|Miscellaneous Symbols Unicode block]] with range U+2600–26FF. Each character is in one block. A block can include non/assigned code points, non/character codepoints etcetera.

* A '''script''' is related to ''speech'' (like the alphabet), '''symbols''' are related to their ''meaning'' (like chess-symbols). Symbols also include controls and Unicode-specials like [[Byte order mark|Byte order mark(BOM)]]. All defined Unicode characters are either in a script or a symbol.

* '''Charts''' are examples of glyphs, i.e. a rendered character (the "A" you read)

Line 12 ⟶ 15:

* '''Miscellaneous lists''' are lists of characters that are ''not'' in one block. Cultural symbols like religious crosses are in different blocks.

===Unicode version===

* Scripts: [httphttps://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.2.0/ch14.pdf Unicode] as of version 5.2; Batak, Brāhmī, Mandaic: added as per version 6.0
