Got insta-reverted with above comment.

Of course I didn't change all 300 blocks, this is an EXPERIMENT. I'm not going to change all 300 until there is agreement. Sorry but previous experience has shown that NO "discussion" will happen unless the changes are actually made. Prove me wrong by actually posting some "discussion" below this:

My altered version:

C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement[1]
Official Unicode Consortium code chart (PDF)
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F
U+008x PAD HOP BPH NBH IND NEL SSA ESA HTS HTJ VTS PLD PLU RI SS2 SS3
U+009x DCS PU1 PU2 STS CCH MW SPA EPA SOS SGC SCI CSI ST OSC PM APC
U+00Ax NBSP ¡ ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ¦ § ¨ © ª « ¬ SHY ® ¯
U+00Bx ° ± ² ³ ´ µ · ¸ ¹ º » ¼ ½ ¾ ¿
U+00Cx À Á Â Ã Ä Å Æ Ç È É Ê Ë Ì Í Î Ï
U+00Dx Ð Ñ Ò Ó Ô Õ Ö × Ø Ù Ú Û Ü Ý Þ ß
U+00Ex à á â ã ä å æ ç è é ê ë ì í î ï
U+00Fx ð ñ ò ó ô õ ö ÷ ø ù ú û ü ý þ ÿ
1.^ As of Unicode version 13.0

Changes (please discuss each individually):

  1. Removed dotted boxes and made NBSP smaller to avoid annoying column width variations depending on whether control characters are in them or not.
  2. Removed whitespace by changing table class to "chset"
  3. Monospace for the numeric code point values to match appearance used in other templates like {{unichar}}.
  4. Removed the word "Notes" between the table and the footnotes.

Other changes I experimented with, and either did not like or was unable to achieve:

  1. Use {{efn}} for footnote, mostly so they can be more easily added to cells
  2. Make the title using "|+" so it matches other wikipedia tables (this produced bad line spacing)
  3. Attempt to get the control characters vertically centered.
  4. Make the PDF link into a reference or efn
