Line 12: == 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 articles ''about'' characters, where an illustration is appropriate. In particular, any [[#Unicode tables]] ~~which~~ provide both the literal character and an image of the character. Ideally, all such glyph images would be [[vector graphics]], in [[Scalable Vector Graphics\|SVG]] format. However, many exist in a [[raster graphics]] format, such as [[Graphics Interchange Format\|GIF]]. Converting or replacing these with SVGs is something that should be done.
