Possible improvements edit

Now that this is a stand alone, some Infobox improvements can be considered. For example:

  1. Add unicode name & code point
  2. Add "group" (word separators; on-Latin; ...)
  3. Add parameter: Group, See also; is not; other uses (of this mark, e.g. in math)
  4. Check overlap with {{Infobox grapheme}}
  5. Add option image

Non-English punctuation edit

I can't find it again but somewhere there is an idea for a future expansion, to add punctuation marks not seen routinely in English. If this is to be explored further, it would be best to limit it to Western European Latin. I have just stumbled on this at Romanization of Ukrainian#Conventional romanization of proper names: Unlike in the English language where an apostrophe is punctuation, in the Ukrainian language it is a letter. Without language specialists, we could get it badly wrong so best leave it to their respective language Wikipedias --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:50, 24 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
