Summary
| Description |
English: Examples of Microsoft's Sylfaen font, displaying its inclusion of Unicode Armenian-alphabet and Georgian-alphabet characters (which are not included in most fonts). The Armenian characters Հայերէն represent the name of the Armenian language (transliterated as Hayerēn in the Latin alphabet); similarly, the Georgian characters ქართული represent the name of the Georgian language (transliterated as ǩartuli or kʰartuli in the Latin alphabet).
The name of the Armenian language is shown beginning with a capital letter, while the name of the Georgian language is all lowercase, solely because Armenian (like English) uses an initial capital letter for proper nouns, whereas the Georgian alphabet currently in use does not have distinct capital and lowercase forms. Additionally, although the name of the Georgian language is more commonly transliterated kʰartuli in order to distinguish between the Georgian letters კ (kan) and ქ (khar), the image shows the alternate transliteration ǩartuli because while the caron character "ˇ" is included in the Sylfaen font, the superscript h "ʰ" is not. |

For easy access to the Armenian or Georgian (or Cyrillic or Greek) alphabets, as well as to special characters including letters with a variety of diacritical marks as used for other languages such as Norwegian, Polish or Portuguese, Windows users can use the Character Map utility. In Windows XP this is typically accessed via Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map. (The exact navigation path may vary in other versions of Windows.)
Within the Character Map utility window, users can select any font installed on that computer, select whichever character(s) are needed, then copy-and-paste into a graphics or word-processing program, browser, or other application. This is also useful for inputting Arabic, Bengali, Cherokee, Chinese, Devanagari, Ethiopic, Farsi, Gujarati, IPA, Japanese, Korean and many other languages / writing systems.
