Excessive citations edit
The first sentence in this section has seven citations; is it necessary to use seven as opposed to two or three citations? Existent human being (talk) 11:58, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
- Made a ref-group for Read's multiple articles alluded to in the text. Not sure why the original poster felt it was necessary to link to all six. -- SashiRolls 🌿 · 🍥 14:42, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Noticed a small issue at the "In Unicode" section at bottom of the page:
In Unicode Several Unicode characters are related to visual renderings of OK: U+1F197 🆗 SQUARED OK U+1F44C 👌 OK HAND SIGN U+1F44D 👍 THUMBS UP SIGN U+1F592 🖒 REVERSED THUMBS UP SIGN U+1F646 🙆 FACE WITH OK GESTURE
The "U+1F592 🖒 REVERSED THUMBS UP SIGN" isn't showing the corresponding emoji (on Safari 17.3.1). So I would change 🖒 to 👎 G4wkpd (talk) 18:10, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
Not done: The current character is correct, the name is just confusing. Reversed means its an outline of a thumbs up icon, the character you used is called "Thumbs Down" (there is also a "Reversed Thumbs Down", which is also an outline). Safari does not implement these characters but the article is about unicode, not Safari. Jamedeus (talk) 01:24, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
