## Private-use (PUA) characters

There are a number of private-use characters that are supported in this font. These conform to [SIL Global’s corporate registry](https://github.com/silnrsi/unicode-resources/tree/main/sil-pua) for usage of the Unicode private-use areas. Characters which are not yet in Unicode are shown below.

- U+F131  FONT BASELINE AND SIDE-BEARING MARKER RIGHT
- U+F132  FONT VERTICAL METRICS MARKER LEFT
- U+F133  FONT VERTICAL METRICS MARKER RIGHT

### Modifier Letters

### Latin

- U+F20D  LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D WITH STROKE AND HOOK
- U+F258  LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL I OVER SMALL SCHWA

### Deprecated SIL Corporate PUA characters

Some characters formerly in the PUA have been added to Unicode, and so have been deprecated in our fonts. Those PUA characters are displayed as black boxes containing a white image of the deprecated glyph.

## Andika New Basic supported characters

The supported character set for the old Andika New Basic fonts was much smaller than for the main Andika font. The *Basic* fonts supported only the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement Unicode ranges, plus a selection of the more commonly used extended Latin characters, with miscellaneous diacritical marks, symbols and punctuation. In particular, these fonts did not support:

* Full extended Latin IPA
* Complete support for Central European languages
* Cyrillic

A much more complete character set is supported in the current Andika fonts. The *Basic* fonts were intended as a way to provide additional weights for basic font users before the complete Andika character set was finished. Please don’t request additional glyphs or characters to be supported in the Basic fonts—use Andika.
