Bugs
All versions of Arial Unicode MS deal with double-width diacritic characters incorrectly, drawing them too far to the left by one character width. According to the Unicode Standard 4.0.0, section 7.7 combining double diacritics go between the two characters to be marked. However, to make text look correct in Arial Unicode MS, the double-width diacritic must be placed after both characters to be marked. This means that it is not possible to make text that renders these characters correctly in both Arial Unicode MS and in other (correctly designed) Unicode fonts. This bug affects the rendering of text written in the International Phonetic Alphabet and in ALA-LC Romanization for non-Latin-script languages. If the displayed font in your browser draws the diacritics correctly, they should appear over the characters: k͠p, k͡p.
The letters in Latin small ligatures fi, fl, ffi, ffl, long st, st aren't connected, except for the two f's in the ffi and ffl ligatures. However, there is nothing mandating that these must be connected - while they are indistinguishable from the individual letters placed next to each other, there is no semantic difference between the ligature and the individual characters. The letters Ľľ, Şş and Ţţ display as L-caron, S-comma below and T-comma below.

Famous quotes containing the word bugs:
“It is snowing and death bugs me
as stubborn as insomnia.
The fierce bubbles of chalk,
the little white lesions
settle on the street outside.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
