User:Zoeannl/Project guideline/Proofreader’s Guide/Non-Keyboard Characters

Please proofread these using the proper symbols or accented characters to match the image, where possible. Non-keyboard characters can be found on your pull-down menu, see Inserting Special Characters for information on how to input these characters during proofreading. There is also a Gadget Editing tool for keyboard shortcuts under Preferences (tab at top right of this page, if you are logged in).

Templates are available for

ſ, ʃ, ſſ ſſ, ʃʃ, ß, ʃß ƒ ƒ {{{1}}}„. These should have their own menu, eventually. In the meantime, as an exception, use templates:

{{s}}, {{s}} s|2, {{ss}} {{ss}}, {{ss}} ss|2, {{ss}} ss|3, {{ss}} ss|4, {{f}} {{f}} {{ditto}}

Spaces[edit]

A space character is used to avoid wrapping. See WP. & nbsp;

Non-Latin Characters[edit]

Some projects contain text printed in non-Latin languages; that is, characters other than the Latin A...Z—for example, Greek, Cyrillic (used in Russian, Slavic, and other languages), Hebrew, or Arabic characters. These characters are available in the pull-down menus but if you are not sure of your Greek (etc.), you can get help, using a missing template e.g. {{Greek missing}} where the Greek characters should be, for an expert to fill in the gap.

Category:Multilingual support templates: {{Hebrew}}, {{arabic}}
