Page Creation
This page is dedicated to being a brief explanation of ASCII vs Unicode punctuation and even how to type them.
==Hyphens and Dashes==
* '''Hyphen''' (-)
:* The standard ASCII hyphen. Safe for all Conservapedia pages and required for [[Conservapedia's Original Source Project]].
* '''En-dash''' (–)
:* ''Important:'' A user cannot type an en-dash directly on a US keyboard. It only appears through special key combinations or automatic substitution by software.
:* ''Windows:'' Hold '''ALT''' + '''0150''', or use the [[Character Map]]
:* ''Mac:'' Hold '''Option''' + '''Hyphen'''
:* ''Linux:'' Press '''Compose key''' then '''-''' then '''-'''
:* ''HTML/MediaWiki:'' Type '''–'''
:* The en-dash is a Unicode character used for ranges (e.g., 1914–1918). It must '''not''' be used in [[Conservapedia's Original Source Project]] pages.
* '''Em-dash''' (—)
:* A longer Unicode dash used for breaks in thought. Must '''not''' be used in [[Conservapedia's Original Source Project]] pages.
* '''Minus sign''' (−)
:* A mathematical Unicode minus symbol. Visually similar to a hyphen but distinct. Must '''not''' be used in [[Conservapedia's Original Source Project]] pages.
==Quotation Marks==
* Straight quotes (" ")
* Smart quotes (“ ”)
==Apostrophes==
* Straight apostrophe (')
* Typographic apostrophe (’)
==Ellipsis==
* Three periods (...)
* Unicode ellipsis (…)
==Other Unicode Pitfalls==
* Non‑breaking space
* Curly brackets
* Long arrows
* Mathematical symbols
==ASCII‑Only Requirement==
Explanation of why OS Project pages must use ASCII.
==How to Check for Unicode==
Tips for editors.
