- Worth noticing
- The checker reports character-map coverage, combining-mark support, and `locl` language systems; WOFF2 files can be previewed but not checked.
Field notes
The reference organizes letters by the marks they carry and connects those forms to Unicode encoding, language requirements, and design conventions. Its checker separates character-map coverage from combining-mark support and language-specific `locl` systems, making distinct kinds of font support visible rather than collapsing them into one pass/fail result. The creator describes the atlas as growing out of a personal typography spreadsheet.
