Tips

  • Use Basic Latin as the default for UI text and data interchange to maximize compatibility.
  • Ensure UTF-8 encoding everywhere and validate round-tripping of Basic Latin content.
  • Test rendering across fonts and platforms; provide sensible fallbacks for missing glyphs.
  • Prefer plain ASCII in code samples, data payloads, and identifiers to avoid encoding issues.
  • Document any deviations when you encounter non-Basic-Latin characters and establish a consistent handling policy.

Basic Latin covers the standard ASCII range: common letters, digits, and punctuation. It is widely supported and often used as a baseline for UI text, identifiers, and data formats.

In practice, you’ll mix Basic Latin with other scripts as needed, but plan for graceful fallbacks and clear user messaging when non-Basic-Latin content is introduced. A long history of ASCII-driven systems means many developers rely on predictable, portable text. When you design or implement, remember that pitfalls include inconsistent encoding handling, font substitutions, and locale-related quirks.
