Talk:List of cuneiform signs

Note that the Borger number given is from Borger 1981. Borger 2003 uses a completely different numbering scheme, including 907 signs. This list should, in the long term, be expanded to list all Borger 2003 signs and give a concordance of Borger 1981 to Borger 2003. dab (ᛏ) 17:25, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am working on this over at Unicode cuneiform. This list may be re-generated from there later. dab (ᛏ) 15:17, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unicode characters

Wouldn't it be useful to augment (or replace) the unicode code point column with the actual characters in the spirit of "U+12109" -> "U+12109 𒄉" (with cuneiform template)? This could be done programmatically in some ten minutes, but since I don't want to be reverted, I wait for feedback here. Is there a preference to numerical character references, or should I use utf-8 encoded characters?

sure, go ahead -- I was going to do the same sometime (augment, don't replace). --dab (𒁳) 13:12, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It turns out that the cuneiform template does not work if used very often on the page. While it should convert to <span style="font-size:125%;font-family:Akkadian, 'Free Idg Serif';" title="cuneiform text">𒊩</span>, it gives instead <a href="/wiki/Template:Cuneiform" title="Template:Cuneiform">Template:Cuneiform</a> for all invocations down from a given point in the document. It seems that the cuneiform template has a limitation which the unicode template does not have, so I'll use the latter.

I guess s UTF-8 fine? The Unicode cuneiform page has numerical character references, though. Thus I am somewhat uncertain.
