List of useful Unicode symbols

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is an entirely subjective list, reflecting the article creator's ideas of which Unicode symbols are useful. All Unicode symbols are useful to somebody or they would not have been added to the Unicode Standard, and there are no reliable sources for deciding which symbols are useful enough to be included in a list of useful characters. This sort of arbitrary and subjective list is fine on someone's personal website or blog, but entirely inappropriate for Wikipedia. BabelStone (talk) 09:38, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's a subjective selection that duplicates material already covered in the encyclopedia. Wikipedia already has a lot of coverage of Unicode, as well as links to all the codepages in Wikibooks. Homoglyphs are already covered, e.g. Duplicate characters in Unicode. Essays and personal picks don't belong in what's supposed to be an NPOV encyclopedia.

As mentioned, the definition of "useful" is unclear - is this any more useful than the content it duplicates? If it means useful to everybody in the world, then the selection is suspect. If it's specifically useful to Wikipedia editors, then in theory it could be moved to the Help namespace, but pages like Help:Special characters already exist and are more relevant. It maybe also falls foul of WP:NOTHOWTO, as a manual on how to create confusing user names. Colapeninsula (talk) 10:59, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Basically, this is an indiscriminate list based on the article creator's personal opinion. Exemplo347 (talk) 11:01, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
