Whats the tallest Unicode glyph (By the characters look). The tallest I've seen them is like the giant half parenthesis, that stretch 3 lines.

Like this one: ⎝ (This font it only goes 2 lines). I'm trying to pull off a "visual glitch" with a different project. Also for bonus if someone can find me the WIDEST Glyph, id appreciate it.

  • Aside from swashes, generally speaking the italics lower-case f spans the descender, ascender, and x-height. An Em dash comes in denominations, 2-em, 3-em.

  • interesting, Ill have to check it out. Im only searching for this character to use it as a sort of "exploit" in a game that has to do with custom names.

It all depends on the font.

Take the font Zapfino, for instance. It has multiple glyphs for the same unicode characters, some of which are very curly and tall.

    I don’t understand your question. You have the name of the font.

  • The illustration @KrisVanBael supplied is an image because Stack doesn't support using any random font in answers. As has been mentioned, you have the name of the font; try it on actual text.
