Talk:U+00E0

RFV discussion
Surely RfV applies to redirects as well. Under that assumption, this should not be able to be cited. -- Prince Kassad 21:39, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Dunno, since it doesn't have a definition, what citations can we accept? Mglovesfun (talk) 21:53, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
 * ...the mere existence, perhaps? -- Prince Kassad 21:54, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't see how a redirect can be appropriate for these. The six-character string "U+00E0" is a name referring to a character (in a certain technical standard); it is not identical with the character. Equinox ◑ 10:24, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
 * See User talk:AugPi. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:40, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
 * A further comment: I was going to say that, if you want to look up an entry based on its ordinal number in some encoding scheme, you could use "percent encoding" (like %20 for hex 0x20 = dec 32 = space), but I double-checked and found that this only supports 0x00-0xff, i.e. traditional ASCII. Ho hum. Equinox ◑ 00:29, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * If you use utf-8 encoding, it actually goes up to U+10FFFF (i. e. the entire range). Try, for example, %F0%9F%9A%BD -- Prince Kassad 01:03, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

U+00E0
A redirect to [[à]]. Was listed at RFV, in search of verification that a term was in use. No one managed to verify it, but I don't think anyone was claiming, to begin with, that this term was in use. (If it hadn't sat at RFV for a month, I think I would have speedy-deleted it, but as it is, I think the statute of limitations has expired . . .) —Ruakh TALK 21:02, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * created a load of these, but seems satisfied now that they don't serve any purpose. So I think a delete is uncontroversial. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:55, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, delete all of these. They are not words. SemperBlotto 08:19, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Deleted all through the magic of Special:MyPage/vector.js. I used deletion summaries that indicated the target page, so if there was some sort of use for these, they might still have that use. —Ruakh TALK 17:07, 15 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, after further thought, I've decided that I might find such redirects useful, so I wrote an importable JavaScript page, User:Ruakh/CodePointRedirects.js, to auto-redirect them (provided the usual auto-redirect restrictions are satisfied: e.g., that the pages are redlinks). Anyone wishing to import it should feel free. (Only tested in Firefox 3.6.8 for WinXP. If you encounter problems with it in a different browser, let me know.) —Ruakh TALK 02:08, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
