Same text, other looks

  • Dust d̐o̽ ṅo̐t͘ ȯp͘e̽n̐One speck over every letter: a dot, two dots, a dot off to the right, a tiny x or a dotted cup. Nothing below. About 1 mark per letter.
  • Loose wiring d̵o̷̕ nơt o̵p̵̕en̛A short stroke through some letters and a stray corner, comma or horn on others. It looks like a fault, not a style. About 1 mark per letter.
  • Wrong accents ḍ̊ö ṇ̈ŏt̆ ǭp̂ẽṇ̂One everyday accent per letter, all borrowed from real alphabets such as French, Czech and Polish, on letters that never asked for one. About 2 marks per letter.
  • Goosebumps ḋ͚̥̈o͚̊ n͚̣͒o̥͚̊͒ṭ͚̈̊ o̤͒̇p̤͒e̤̊ṇ̤̊̈Rings and dots only, one or two above and one or two below. Bumpy, not broken. About 3 marks per letter.
  • Lid d̅o̅ n̅o̅t̅ o̅p̅e̅n̅An overline on every letter. Unicode notes that this mark connects on the left and right, so the pieces join into one line over each word. Exactly 1 mark per letter.
  • Hum d̲o̲ n̲o̲t̲ o̲p̲e̲n̲A low line under every letter. The pieces connect, so you get an underline made of characters, not formatting. Exactly 1 mark per letter.

  • Cross-stitch d͓̽o͓̽ n͓̽o͓̽t͓̽ o͓̽p͓̽e͓̽n͓̽A small x above and a small x below every letter. There is no chance in it, so the same text always gives the same result. Exactly 2 marks per letter.
  • Bridges d̪͆o̪͆ n̪͆o̪͆t̪͆ o̪͆p̪͆e̪͆n̪͆A square bracket lying over each letter and another under it. Phonetic writing uses both marks. Here they just box the word in. Exactly 2 marks per letter.
  • Stitched d͜͡o n͜͡o͜͡t o͜͡p͜͡e͜͡nA tie over and under each pair of neighbouring letters, so the word looks sewn together. These marks span two letters, so check how your app draws them. Exactly 2 marks per pair of letters.
  • Antennae d́̎̋ó̎̀̏ n̋̏̀ò̍̋t́̍̎ ő̏́p̋́̍̀e̍̋́n̋̏́Two to four thin strokes over each letter, upright or slanted, and nothing else. Spiky. About 3 marks per letter.
