 | | For each tengwar diacritic, there are four different codepoints that are used depending on the width of the character which bears it. | | | It should look similar to the picture at the top of the page, but if no tengwar font is installed, it will look a random jumble of characters because the corresponding ISO 8859-1 characters will appear instead. | | | This implies a major flaw: If no corresponding tengwar font is installed, an awful string of nonsense characters appears. |
