::I was referring to the font we should use to render the sample glyph images. The font used to render characters in an article should be the choice of the article writer based on the needs of the subject, whether the characters are rendered using Unicode notation or not. However, if an article writer gets frustrated because his characters do not appear in most people's browsers, this page would be a good place to give him advice on how to fix that problem.

=== Standard Explanation ===
A wiki is a great place to polish an explanation. Let's discuss the standard explanation here, and put the consensus result in the article. Here is my suggestion, to get things started. "The Char column shows how the Unicode character would look in your browser when in an article. You can copy-and-paste the character from there. The Image column shows the standard image of the character, for comparison. Name is the Unicode name of the character. Hex and Decimal are the numeric code point for the character in the Unicode character set. The "U+" prefix in the Hex column is from the Unicode standard. See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Typography/Unicode]] for further details."
