Punctuation/Symbols

[edit]

What is the Wiktionary policy on including punctuation/symbols? Should there be an article also for each of the following: ², , ¼, , , , , , , and ?

Well, currently most of them appear already, but to me none on that list belong in a dictionary. They belong in a list of Unicode characters.

If the Wiktionary policy is to duplicate all of the Unicode characters, then don't skip some.

How about map symbols?
Just because they don't exist in Unicode, some have a much longer history/heritage.
See, for example, map symbols used in the Melway street directory: [1]. And from another directory: [2].

Talk pages for some symbols cannot be created

[edit]

There is a problem creating talk pages for some symbols. For example, I cannot create a talk page for .

The error message is:

Permission error

The title "Talk:﴾" has been banned from creation. It matches the following blacklist entry: .*[\x{FB50}-\x{FBB1}\x{FBD3}-\x{FDC7}\x{FE70}-\x{FEFC}].*
