Tau gallicum – The Unicode character in the current title is not supported on any browser that I have tried to read the article with. In fact, it appears to still be a proposed standard, rather than a part of the approved Unicode standard - see https://unicode.org/wg2/docs/n5044-tau-gallicum.pdf from 2019 for proof (Edit: this has since been accepted in Unicode). In addition, the letter itself had several written forms, so choosing only one is a problem as well - again, see the PDF for details. This article certainly needs work, and it should start with having a title that people can search for and find. 50.248.234.77 (talk) 02:39, 6 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • Support per nom. If necessary, there can always be a redirect from here. I say 'if necessary', because I'm not convinced we need an article that is titled using non-standard characters. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:54, 6 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • Support, but it certainly needs to be filled in. There are no references on the page as it stands.--Ortizesp (talk) 14:17, 6 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Seems to have been added to Unicode in March 2020 [1] – Thjarkur (talk) 23:19, 6 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for finding that. I looked but obviously missed it. Regardless, it doesn't seem to have browser support yet. 50.248.234.77 (talk) 23:37, 6 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
