http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13105 Summary: Named character refences table: Add column with official UNICODE names Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: PC URL: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/named-character-reference s#named-character-references-table OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: xn--mlform-iua@xn--mlform-iua.no QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org REQUEST: In the Named character references table, ålease add a column with the official character names, as defined by Unicode. JUSTIFICATION: * HTML5 quite consistently makes use of the official Unicode name for the characters that occurs in algorithims and elswhere. It would be logical to do the same in this table. * Listing the character names would have practical benefit - it would remove the need for looking in UNICODE itself or need for some other means to check the name. * Some characters for which there are named character references, are invisible or otherwise hard to distinguish. Other characters, again, are not rendered by the web browser because the font used by the Web browser does not contain all referenced characters. (Firefox 5 [at least my copy] behaves that way, for isntance.) -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
