Italicisation

Can this template be modified to not italicise characters from the Egyptian Hieroglyphs Unicode block? Antiquistik (talk) 11:48, 14 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Evidence that it does? In my browser, Egyptian hieroglyphs are not italicized even though the html markup is for italic style:
{{lang-egy|π“Š¨π“π“†‡π“|size=150%}}
Ancient Egyptian: π“Š¨π“π“†‡π“
[[Ancient Egyptian language|Ancient Egyptian]]: <i lang="egy" style="font-size: 150%;">π“Š¨π“π“†‡π“</i>
A small sampling of articles that use this template suggests that most uses of this template wrap some sort of Latn-script text. If that trend holds true, the default italic styling is correct. If there are browsers out there that italicize Egyptian hieroglyphs, set |italic=no:
{{lang-egy|π“Š¨π“π“†‡π“|size=150%|italic=no}}
Ancient Egyptian: π“Š¨π“π“†‡π“
[[Ancient Egyptian language|Ancient Egyptian]]: <span lang="egy" style="font-style: normal; font-size: 150%;">π“Š¨π“π“†‡π“</span>

@Trappist the monk: It appears italicised to me in my browser. Although I can work with |italics=no for now, provided that it doesn't de-italicise the transliterations of the hieroglyphic texts. Antiquistik (talk) 20:14, 19 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
