I'm only seeing a question mark as the article title. Is the article using a non-standard character set by chance? -- Longhair 06:21, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

For some strange reason, this page redirects to Tengwar. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 06:22, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
I've deleted the article once, but it's since been re-created. I'm waiting on a reply to my question above before acting again. -- Longhair 06:25, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
See what links to Tengwar. There's more than one article titled in this way. I'm suspecting non-standard characters. -- Longhair 06:30, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, this is pretty stupid. I know "redirects are cheap" and all that, but who is going to search for individual Tengwar characters that can't even be inputted normally in the first place? I wish people would think before doing things like this. Adam Bishop 06:32, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
My thoughts exactly. I've deleted the lot. -- Longhair 06:38, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

The characters are displayed in the chart under Tengwar#Non-Unicode. As for who would search for this "pretty stupid" stuff: me and people interested in Tengwar. They can also be used for linkage. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 06:56, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Alternately, you can see them in Image:Tengwar sample.png. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 07:01, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

How does one enter them directly on a standard keyboard using Windows XP? -- Longhair 07:02, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
You can't. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 07:03, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Unless you download the font and change the font face of ordinary characters. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 07:05, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
