Many browsers, though, are only capable of displaying a small subset of the full UCS-2 repertoire. For example, the codes Δ Й ק م ๗ ぁ 叶 葉 냻 display on your browser as Δ, Й, ק, م, ๗, ぁ, 叶, 葉 and 냻 which ideally look like the Greek letter "Delta", Cyrillic letter "Short I", the Hebrew letter "Qof", the Arabic letter "Meem", Thai numeral 7, Japanese Hiragana "A", simplified Chinese "Leaf", traditional Chinese "Leaf", and a Korean syllable, respectively. Some multilingual web browsers that dynamically merge the required font sets on demand, e.g., Microsoft's Internet Explorer 5.5 on Windows, are capable of displaying all the Unicode characters on this page simultaneously after the appropriate "text display support packs" are downloaded. MSIE 5.5 would prompt the users if a new font were needed via its "install on demand" feature. Other browsers such as Netscape Navigator 4.77 can only display text supported by the current font associated with the character encoding of the page. When you are using the latter type of browser, it is unlikely that your computer has all of those fonts, nor the browser can use all available fonts on the same page. As a result, the browser will not display the text above all correctly, though it may display a subset of them. Because they are encoded according to the standard, though, they will display correctly on any system that is compliant and does have the characters available. Further, those characters given names for use in named entity references are likely to be more commonly available than others. |

/TableCodesFrom1000To1999? Note: Tables show decimal codes; hexadecimal codes should be shown as well, because they are used in the printed version of the Unicode-Manual. Additional Note: How should these tables be labeled and where should they be put? The division should probably be along the blocks and not just blocks of 1000s. :I think the page names should use 4-digit hexadecimal (and 8-digit beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane, if you want to go there). The division would make more sense if it took blocks into account. Also, you need to omit things like 0080-009F (control characters) and D800-DFFF (surrogates). [/Latin1 Supplement]?
