Notes:
You must have JavaScript enabled. Choose a view from the list just below the page title. To produce text in the output area, click on character shapes, or use your keyboard for Latin characters, delete, etc. Then cut & paste the result to your document, or use the buttons to get further information about the characters.
You can also add codepoints and escapes via the "Add codepoint" field (hit return to add to the output field). You can also paste text into the output field to get information about it. Use the yellow boxes to set preferences or search. Regular expressions are allowed when searching – for example, to find characters with the word KA in their name, enter \bka\b, or the short form :ka:.
About the chart
Includes all the characters in the Unicode Tibetan block as of Unicode 5.2 (in the default panel).
All text is output in Unicode normalisation form NFC by default. You can change to NFD or no normalisation by clicking on the buttons in the yellow area. Note that normalization only takes place when you click on a character - text pasted into the box won't be normalised until you click on another character above, or click on a button in the yellow area. (Note: normalization is turned off for Han characters in this application.)
Alternative views
The following alternative views are available. You can start up directly in one of the views by appending the following to your URI: ?view=, followed by one of, respectively, default or fontgrid.
Default This view is likely to be most useful to people who are somewhat familiar with the alphabet and characters of Tibetan. Characters are arranged to assist in input. Simple consonants are to the left in mostly alphabetic order. To their right are subscript consonants, then vowels, then word and other separators. The right hand block contains, from top to bottom, head marks, paired punctuation, cantillation signs, symbols, astrological signs, religious signs, vocalic modification and transliteration head letters, and other marks and signs. At the bottom are digits and various related symbols.
Click on the 'Advanced' arrow top right for characters that are normalised under NFC to more than one character. (Note that you need to turn normalisation off for this to output these characters as single code points.) Where the same character images appear in the main tables, they add the NFC sequence to the output, whatever the normalisation setting. This is because the single code point values are deprecated in Unicode.
Font grid Shows characters in Unicode order, using whatever font is specified in the Font list or Custom font input fields. This allows comparison of fonts (especially useful in IE, which shows if a glyph is missing from a font).
