Editing Fraktur (section)

=={{anchor|Fraktur in Unicode}}Unicode==
[[Unicode]] does not encode Fraktur as a separate script. Instead, Fraktur is considered a "presentation form" of the Latin alphabet.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.unicode.org/faq/ligature_digraph.html#Pf1 |title=Ligatures, Digraphs, Presentation Forms vs. Plain Text {{!}} Presentation forms |publisher=[[Unicode Consortium]] |date=7 July 2015 |access-date=19 September 2022 }}</ref>{{efn|For examples of more obvious "presentation forms", see [[display typeface]].}} Thus, the additional ligatures that are required for Fraktur typefaces will not be encoded in Unicode: support for these ligatures is a font engineering issue left up to font developers.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.unicode.org/faq/ligature_digraph.html#Lig2 |title=Ligatures, Digraphs, Presentation Forms vs. Plain Text {{!}} Ligatures |publisher=[[Unicode Consortium]] |date=7 July 2015 |access-date=19 September 2022  }}</ref>

There are, however, two sets of Fraktur symbols in the [[Unicode block]]s of [[Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols]], [[Letterlike symbols (Unicode block)|Letterlike Symbols]], and [[Latin Extended-E]]. The [[long s]], [[ß]], and the [[Umlaut (diacritic)|umlauted vowels]] are not encoded, as the characters are meant to be used in mathematics and phonetics, so they are not suitable for typesetting German-language texts.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.unicode.org/faq/ligature_digraph.html#Pf5|title=Ligatures, Digraphs, Presentation Forms vs. Plain Text {{!}} Why does Unicode contain whole alphabets of "italic" or "bold" characters in Plane 1? |publisher=[[Unicode Consortium]] |date=7 July 2015 |access-date=19 September 2022  }}</ref>
