Apple Symbols
Apple Symbols is a font introduced in Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther." This is a TrueType font, intended to provide coverage for characters defined as symbols in the Unicode Standard. It continues to ship with Mac OS X as part of the default installation. Prior to Mac OS X 10.5, its path was /Library/Fonts/Apple Symbols.ttf. From Mac OS X 10.5 onward, is to be found at /System/Library/Fonts/Apple Symbols.ttf, meaning it is now considered an essential part of the system software, not to be deleted by users. The version of the font as of Mac OS X 10.5 is 6.0d7e4. It remains to be available in modern macOS versions such as macOS Ventura. List of glyphs The Mac OS X version of the font contains over 5000 glyphs from the following Unicode blocks: * U+0000–U+007F Basic Latin * U+0080–U+00FF Latin-1 Supplement * U+0180–U+024F Latin Extended-B * U+02B0–U+02FF Spacing Modifier Letters * U+0300–U+036F Combining Diacritical Marks * U+0370–U+03FF Greek and Coptic * U+1F00–U+1FFF Gree ...

Computer Font
A computer font is implemented as a digital data file containing a set of graphically related glyphs. A computer font is designed and created using a font editor. A computer font specifically designed for the computer screen, and not for printing, is a screen font. In the terminology of movable metal type, a font is a set of pieces of movable type in a specific typeface, size, width, weight, slope, etc. (for example, Gill Sans bold 12 point or Century Expanded 14 point), and a typeface refers to the collection of related fonts across styles and sizes (for example, all the varieties of Gill Sans). In HTML, CSS, and related technologies, the font family attribute refers to the digital equivalent of a typeface. Since the 1990s, many people use the word ''font'' as a synonym for ''typeface''. There are three basic kinds of computer font file data formats: * Bitmap fonts consist of a matrix of dots or pixels representing the image of each glyph in each face and size. * Vector ...

Number Forms (Unicode Block)
Number Forms is a Unicode block containing Unicode compatibility characters that have specific meaning as numbers, but are constructed from other characters. They consist primarily of vulgar fractions and Roman numerals. In addition to the characters in the Number Forms block, three fractions were inherited from ISO-8859-1, which was incorporated whole as the Latin-1 Supplement block. List of characters Block History The following Unicode-related documents record the purpose and process of defining specific characters in the Number Forms block: See also * Latin script in Unicode * Unicode symbols In computing, a Unicode symbol is a Unicode character which is not part of a script used to write a natural language, but is nonetheless available for use as part of a text.

Braille Patterns (Unicode Block)
The Unicode block Braille Patterns (U+2800..U+28FF) contains all 256 possible patterns of an 8-dot braille cell, thereby including the complete 6-dot cell range.Unicode Chapter 15 section 15.10 In Unicode, a braille cell does not have a letter or meaning defined. For example, Unicode does ''not'' define to be "R". Symbols, not letters In Unicode braille characters are not defined as belonging to any other script, but are defined as the Braille script. That is, the patterns are available as ''symbols'', without connection to an alphabetic letter or a number. This is because the ''same'' symbol can be used in multiple scripts, e.g. as a Latin character, a Vietnamese character, a Chinese character and a digit. For example: although represents the letter "H" in basic b ...[...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

However, the block doesn't contain a space character of its own and ASCII space may or may not render at the same width as Block Elements glyphs, as those characters are intended to be used exclusively for monospaced fonts.

The OCR bow tie is given the informative alias "unique asterisk". MICR The MICR subheading contains four punctuation characters for bank cheque identifiers, taken from the magnetic ink character recognition E-13B font (codified in the ISO 1004:1995 standard): , , , and . The latter two characters are misnamed: their names were inadvertently switched when they were named in the 1993 (first) edition of ISO/IEC 10646, a mistake which had been present since Unicode 1.0.0. Although their formal names remain unchanged due to the Unicode stability policy, they both have corrected nor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
