Latin Extended-G

• When selecting Latin Extended-G code points, ensure your font supports the glyphs to avoid missing character boxes.
• Use semantic markup and not images when possible; fall back to font-based rendering for accessibility.
• Test rendering across platforms, as some systems handle combining marks and diacritics differently.
• Bundle related glyphs with fallback fonts to maintain consistent metrics in UI elements.
• Document usage with clear naming conventions so designers and developers know when to apply these characters in text, labels, or icons.

Latin Extended-G covers additional extended Latin characters used in minority and historic orthographies. It sits alongside other blocks like geometric shapes and arrows, so consider how these glyphs interact with surrounding text and UI symbols. In practice, you’ll pair these code points with appropriate font files and fallback strategies to ensure legibility and alignment across devices.

Be mindful of pitfalls such as inconsistent rendering, kerning issues, and font licensing constraints. A careful approach combines testing with clear guidance in style sheets and design tokens. Historically, this block emerged as part of efforts to standardize scholarly and linguistic notation, providing a stable set of characters for diverse languages while avoiding broad changes to core Latin alphabets.
