Notes:

You must have JavaScript enabled. Choose a view from the list just below the page title. To produce text in the output area, click on character shapes, or use your keyboard for Latin characters, delete, etc. Then cut & paste the result to your document, or use the buttons to get further information about the characters.

You can also add codepoints and escapes via the "Add codepoint" field (hit return to add to the output field). You can also paste text into the output field to get information about it. Use the yellow boxes to set preferences or search. Regular expressions are allowed when searching – for example, to find characters with the word KA in their name, enter \bka\b, or the short form :ka:.

NOTE: Mongolian is a complex script, and I am still familiarising myself with it. This is an initial trial version of a Mongolian picker, and it may change radically in the future.

The output area for this picker is set up for vertical text. However, only Internet Explorer currently supports vertical text display, and only IE8 supports Mongolian's left-to-right column progression. In addition, it seems that IE doesn't support ltr columns in textarea elements. The bottom line is that, although the output area is the right shape and position for vertical text, mostly the output will be horizontal. You will see vertical text in IE, but the column positions will look wrong. Nevertheless, in any of these cases, if you cut and paste text, the characters will still be correctly ordered.

About the chart: Includes all the characters in the Mongolian script description in Wikipedia. The picker does not include Sibe, Todo or Manchu characters.; Mongolian is a complex script, and I am still familiarising myself with it. This is an initial trial version of a Mongolian picker, and it may change radically in the future.; The output area for this picker is set up for vertical text. However, only Internet Explorer currently supports vertical text display, and only IE8 supports Mongolian's left-to-right column progression.

Nevertheless, in any of these cases, if you cut and paste text, the characters will still be correctly ordered.; All text is output in Unicode normalisation form NFC by default. You can change to NFD or no normalisation by clicking on the buttons in the yellow area. Note that normalization only takes place when you click on a character - text pasted into the box won't be normalised until you click on another character above, or click on a button in the yellow area. (Note: normalization is turned off for Han characters in this application.)
Alternative views: The following alternative views are available. You can start up directly in one of the views by appending the following to your URI: ?view=, followed by one of, respectively, default or fontgrid.; Default This view is likely to be most useful to people who are somewhat familiar with the alphabet and characters of Mongolian. Characters are arranged to assist in input.; Consonants are to the left in the order listed in the Wikipedia article. To their right are vowels, then punctuation, spaces and control characters, and number digits. The variation selectors are positioned just below the consonants. As you mouse over the letters, the various combining forms appear in a column to the far left. This is to help identify characters, for those less familiar with the alphabet. (The images for these joining forms are from the wikipedia article.); Font grid Shows characters in Unicode order, using whatever font is specified in the Font list or Custom font input fields. This allows comparison of fonts (especially useful in IE, which shows if a glyph is missing from a font).
