;;*{{removed}} The [[mojibake]] depiction of these bytes as separate chars was slightly helpful when debugging but not meant as a serious feature.

: Nice method – I was surprised that it could be done without JavaScript! Maybe instead of the values from [[Module:Unicode data/control]], which include only some of the General Categories, the table could show the long name of the actual General Category. (TheI've added the long names wouldof havethe toGeneral be addedCategories to [[Module:Unicode data/category]].) — [[User:Erutuon|Eru]]·[[User talk:Erutuon|tuon]] 10:37, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

::It relies upon the css [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Selectors/Using_the_:target_pseudo-class_in_selectors <code>:target</code>] selector to show/hide the panel for any given codepoint. I think this would be nearly adequate if not for the vertical anchor-jumping. I suppose moving the info panel to the top (below the pdf link and above the column headers) would make it slightly less annoying, but it would look weird. Another consequence of this is that whenever multiple charts are present on the same page, opening an info panel on one chart will close info panels all others. So using Javascript would probably be better. It would only require convincing the right people that feature is worthwhile and not too app-like.
