Notes

• Unicode language ids are based on BCP 47, but differ in a few ways.
• The names are localized with Unicode CLDR data: names with '*' are fallbacks to English; names with '**' are fallbacks to the latest draft registry names.
• Replacements are for invalid subtags (zho → zh, 248 → AX), or preferred replacements (iw → he), or predominant languages (arb → ar).

Fonts and Display. If you don't have a good set of Unicode fonts (and modern browser), you may not be able to read some of the characters. Some suggested fonts that you can add for coverage are: Noto Fonts site, Unicode Fonts for Ancient Scripts, Large, multi-script Unicode fonts. See also: Unicode Display Problems.
