Latin Extended-B

• Test font coverage for the whole Latin Extended-B set and map fallback fonts for missing glyphs.
• Audit text inputs and editors to preserve diacritics and ligatures during copy, paste, and normalization.
• Use explicit font-family stacks and CSS features like font-variation-settings to stabilize rendering.
• Implement fallbacks and testing across languages that use these characters to avoid missing glyphs or misrendering.
• Document accessibility considerations, including descriptive alt text and predictable glyph order for screen readers.

The Latin Extended-B block expands the Latin script with additional letters, diacritics, and phonetic symbols used by various languages and academic work. It often appears in scholarly texts, linguistic notation, and heritage typography. When planning UI text, consider how these characters integrate with surrounding scripts and fonts.

Typical usage involves linguistic datasets, multilingual interfaces, and fonts designed for accurate diacritics. Pitfalls include uneven font support, inconsistent glyph metrics, and unexpected line breaks caused by combining marks. Historically, this block was created to document characters needed for accurate representation beyond the basic Latin set, supporting broader linguistic and scholarly expression.
