@sayrer@mastodon.social I don’t know the specifics, but I know that diacritics are not decorative.
And with as many as Vietnamese uses… they obviously matter.
I wish it were a surprise that “the paper of record” does not support them.
(FWIW, I got to see my soccer team, Arsenal, go through this when they hired a player, Özil, whose name their font supplier for shirts could not spell.)

@lkanies@hachyderm.io They use a bunch of custom fonts, and probably don't have the glyphs for them. A site like Twitter, in 50+ languages, will use fallback fonts. Typography be damned. https://mastodon.social/@rsms/110183353745673721
