I’m IIMarckus. I do web design, some general programming, and have an interest in proper typography on the Web.
MLT_REQ is my pet project that I hardly ever work on.
Useful Unicode characters
Arial isn’t really the best font to display these in, because it doesn’t angle quotes. Oh well.
| Character | Name | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| é | U+00E9 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE | Only here because it’s Bulbapedia. |
| ‐ | U+2010 HYPHEN | Not the same as the “hyphen-minus” that’s on your keyboard, although that is generally an acceptable substitute. |
| – | U+2013 EN DASH | En dashes are used for ranges of numbers; e.g., 1990–1998. |
| — | U+2014 EM DASH | Em dashes denote parenthetical breaks in text. |
| ‘ | U+2018 LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK | |
| ’ | U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK | This is the preferred character for apostrophes. |
| “ | U+201C LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK | |
| ” | U+201D RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK | |
| … | U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS | |
| ′ | U+2032 PRIME | Prime is used for (among other things) designating feet or minutes. |
| ″ | U+2033 DOUBLE PRIME | Likewise, double prime is used to designate inches or seconds. |
| − | U+2212 MINUS SIGN | This should be used in mathematics; compare (2 + 3 - 5) to (2 + 3 − 5). |
| 〃 | U+3003 DITTO MARK | What you use in tables to avoid repeating a table cell value. |
Userboxes
Are a fad and I refuse to display them here.
