I agree that if no image of a Unicode character exists, this column must be left blank. However, I think that should almost never be the case, and that much useful information is lost when no image is available. We should encourage the table author to find or create a suitable image, perhaps by giving some suggestions, or even tutorials, in this page. For example, when I needed images of the OCR-A characters, I rendered the characters at 1000 points, then traced the outlines to produce svg files. Another method would be to trace the outline of the sample characters in the Unicode standard. [[User:John Sauter|John Sauter]] ([[User talk:John Sauter|talk]]) 02:03, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

:Agreed on should-always-have-an-image, and adding docs to the project page that explain how-to to editors. • It should be possible to script the process of rendering and tracing each character in InkScape. That would let us auto-generate a few thousand glyphs to start with. I'll ask around my local Linux User Group, see if anyone there knows anything about InkScape scripting. —<small>[[User:DragonHawk|DragonHawk]] ([[User talk:DragonHawk|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/DragonHawk|hist]])</small> 02:16, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

== Redirects from CJK compatibility characters ==

I have been adding redirects from [[CJK Compatibility]] characters to appropriate articles or Wiktionary if I don't find one.

There is a discussion about it in [[Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2024_June_10#㌽]] if you want to voice your opinion.
