More about these tools

Under every letter is its name or its sound in Latin letters, and the list at the foot of the page gives the code point and the Unicode 18.0 name. A script is more than a row of letters. Tamil builds 216 letters out of 18 consonants and 12 vowels, the traditional Mongolian script runs from the top of the page to the bottom, and Baybayin changes a vowel with one small mark. Each page says what is particular to its script, and where a device with no font for it will show an empty box.
