I cannot see the signs. Get empty squares edit

What do I need to do in order to see this page correctly?

You need to install a font that supports these Unicode cuneiform characters. For example, go to https://github.com/Xyene/UnicodeTable/blob/master/src/main/resources/fonts/Akkadian.ttf to download and install the "Akkadian" font. Hope that helps. DRMcCreedy (talk) 06:26, 24 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Great! thanks. BTW, is {{Script/Cuneiform}} doing anything helpful? {{Script}} at all? (did not work with me in this Xsux case). -DePiep (talk) 06:43, 24 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
... and, is there a central location (page) where this solution is listed (for other scripts, or cuneiform-related)? -DePiep (talk) 06:45, 24 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
There's Help:Multilingual_support. It's used in conjunction with the "Contains special characters" template. The Lontara_script article for example includes {{Contains special characters|Lontara}}. DRMcCreedy (talk) 22:47, 24 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
