== Glyph images ==
Wikipedia and/or Wikimedia Commons host many images of [[glyph]]s — characters rendered in a given font. In article text, we generally prefer to use literal Unicode characters, not these rendered images. Thus, these images are primarily used in [[#Unicode tables]] which provide both the literal character and an image of the character.
Ideally, all such glyph images would be [[vector graphics]], in [[SVG]] format. However, many exist in a [[raster graphics]] format, such as [[GIF]]. Converting or replacing these with SVGs is something that should be done.
As of this writing, there is no standardized naming of these images. Sometimes an expression of the codepoint is used as the file name, e.g., <code>U+0000.svg</code>. In other cases, the character name is used.
