Pasting from wikipedia to test something.

Among the types of diacritic used in alphabets based on the Latin script are:

accents (so called because the acute, grave, and circumflex were originally used to indicate different types of pitch accents in the polytonic transcription of Greek)
◌́ – acute (Latin apex)
◌̀ – grave
◌̂ – circumflex
◌̌ – caron, wedge (Czech háček, Slovak mäkčeň)
◌̋ – double acute
◌̏ – double grave
◌̃ - tilde
dots
◌̇ – overdot (Indic anusvara)
◌̣ – an underdot is used in Rheinische Dokumenta and in Hebrew, Indic and Arabic transcription
◌·◌ – interpunct
tittle, the superscript dot of the modern lowercase Latin i and j
◌̈ – diaeresis or umlaut
◌ː – triangular colon, used in the IPA to mark long vowels.
curves
◌̆ – breve
◌̑ - inverted breve
◌͗ – sicilicus, a palaeographic diacritic similar to a caron or breve
◌̃ – tilde
◌҃ – titlo
vertical stroke
◌̩ – syllabic a subscript vertical stroke is used in IPA to mark syllabicity and in Rheinische Dokumenta to mark a schwa

Yes?

There are some browsers that don't see these well. For example, on my Android using the Chrome app, the first post looks like square x-ed out boxes with marks on each box, while the second post looked fine.

On my Windows 7 PC with Chrome as the browser, both posts look fine.

I am relatively new on the site, so do not have a wide range of experience, but from what I have seen, most diacritics work okay in posts (at least on my devices), but they do not work in the name field of the D&D 5E character sheets, and they also wreak havoc on the Custom sheets.

This post was created in response to someone asking if diacritic support was needed on GP. However, I think this is more a case of individual browsers and OS support.

Android 8.0.0, SM-G955U (S8+ on Verizon) Build/R16NW on Chrome 72.0.3626.105 I get a weird box. I get an Xed out box with the marks (as Qralloq said). Second post appeared perfectly fine.

Windows 10 (Build 1803) HP Pro x2 612 on Chrome Version 72.0.3626.109 (64-bit) both posts look totally fine.

Chrome 72.0.3626.109 on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 is completely confused. That said, I can look into if there's a way to get more global coverage? Until then, just interesting to see (moving to Site Discussions).

The bug for me is specifically in the custom character sheet
Feb 22, 2019 6:12 am
I was able to duplicate the issue with a character sheet. It appears that part of the issue is that the font that is called for, Lucida Grande, is not imported into CSS, which causes it to fall back to a generic web font, Verdana. Verdana does not have extended latin characters, so it can't show them.

This SHOULD be able to be repaired by swapping either Lucida Grande for a google font with extended characters, or adding one in to the font stack.
