Re: Examples of Success Criterion 1.4.8

Kazuhito:

To expand on what Alistair Campbell said, a glyph refers to single written characters. In Western alphabets, they include single letters like A (the first letter of the Western alphabet. The arrow is a glyph which is also a non-phonetic symbol.

In Japanese, a glyph would include a single kanji character or a single syllabary character from the HIragana/Katakana set as well as roman letters, technical symbols and emojis.

I would also be curious if either the あ (hiragana A) or a kanji character would be clearer.

Hope this helps.
