- Discussion
Support However, @NMaia: have you looked at how Unicode character (P487) is being used? "Unicode code point" is one of the aliases for that property, so this proposal might at least lead to some ambiguity with respect to that. That said, I think "hex" is clear enough, and this seems to be the standard way unicode characters are indexed so this would be useful. Are we intending for every character in unicode to have an item in wikidata? ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:22, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
Done @NMaia, ArthurPSmith: created as Unicode code point (P4213). --99of9 (talk) 01:01, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
