Title

Should the title of this article have diacritics (Ahiṃsā), or not (Ahimsa)? Most articles have preferred the latter: Sanskrit instead of Saṃskṛta, Rigveda instead of Ṛgveda,Shanti instead of Śāntiḥ, etc. There have been equally viable arguments for and against the usage of diacritics in article titles: supplying the diacritics better respects the original language and culture, one may argue, but not every device can display diacritics, and the title might appear to some as "Ahi□s□", or something like that, which can be considered even worse to the original language and culture than leaving the diacritics out. What is Wikipedia's currently standing official policy about this? ωικιωαrrιorᑫᑫ1ᑫ 16:07, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

precept

according to the "five precepts" page, ahimsa is not the first one of them as stated at the beginning of the article. it is more like their inspiration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iska (talkcontribs) 03:41, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
