Accessible symbols
[మార్చు]Wikipedia previously provided templates that generated images with alt text for symbols not read by screen readers.[1] As of 2023,[2] 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.[3]
