Which browsers support these characters? edit

I'm running a version of Chrome and I'm seeing blank boxes for all of the characters. Andrew³²⁷ 19:48, 22 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Likely a font issue, not a browser issue. FreeSerif font in freefont-otf-20120503.tar.gz at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freefont/ works for me in both Chrome and Firefox. Hope that helps. DRMcCreedy (talk) 04:44, 23 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Proposition to include uses of Byzantine Music Symbols and link to the article on Byzantine Music edit

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This article has limited useful information for people who use this Unicode for Byzantine Musical Symbols and is focused on the history of writing the Unicode. While coders and programmers may find this fascinating, readers studying Byzantine (ancient or contemporary) music will find a dearth of information on how this Unicode is used to digitally transcribe works of Byzantine music or write new music in the Byzantine style. I propose additional text to connect this article to “Byzantine Music” AttempingUpright (talk) 21:33, 20 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

It seems reasonable to include information about the practical use of the Byzantine Musical Symbols block characters in this article. I'm guessing you mean the technical aspects of using them and not more general notation information that could go in the Byzantine music article. I'm not familiar with their use so I don't know if they're just plain text or a more complicated system like MathML is for mathematics. If the new information grows enough to overshadow the block information, it can always be split into its own article. DRMcCreedy (talk) 16:51, 21 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
