Misplaced Pages previously provided templates that generated images with alt text for symbols not read by screen readers. As of 2023, the symbols in the table below will be read in the default configuration of all three major screen readers (JAWS, Apple's VoiceOver, and NVDA). Depending on user-configured verbosity settings, a reader may hear additional characters read aloud or fewer typographic or punctuation characters read aloud.
