Template:MongolUnicode
{{{1}}}
Usage
[change source]This template is intended for use with text written in the Unicode "Mongolian" script. Note, the Unicode "Mongolian" script is a unification of the Mongolian, Todo, Manchu and Sibe scripts, and so this template can be used for text written in various different languages, including varieties of Mongolian (Classical Mongolian, Halh [khk] and Peripheral Mongolian [mvf]), as well as Manchu [mnc] and Sibe [sjo].
- 1st parameter is the Mongolian (Todo, Manchu, Sibe) text to display
- 2nd parameter is optional; if it is 'h' then the text is laid out horizontally; if it is any other value (e.g. 'v'), or if it is omitted then the text is laid out vertically (if the browser supports vertical layout)

Issues
[change source]Currently only Internet Explorer 8 and above, and Webkit browsers (Chrome, Safari, Opera 15.0+, Android native browser) support rendering the text in top-to-bottom, left-to-right format. Other browsers will render the text as left-to-right, top-to-bottom. See also:

- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/writing-mode
For users of Firefox version 38.0 and above, you need to open the about:config page, and set layout.css.vertical-text.enabled as true to enable it.

- And our advice forManchu text is MQT = DC > MB
-
- MQT=Menksoft's Menk Qagan Tig, is a font for Hudum, Todo, Manchu and Sibe, with full Ali-Gali support;
- MW=Almas's Mongolian White, is a font for Hudum and Todo, with some Ali-Gali support;
- MB=Founder-Microsoft's Mongolian Baiti, is a font for Hudum, Todo, Manchu and Sibe, with some Ali-Gali support;
- MU=Monotype Drawing Office's Mongol Usug, is a font for Hudum and Todo;
- MS=Myatav Erdenechimeg's MongolianScript, is a font for Hudum only;
- DW=Daicing White, is a font for Manchu, Sibe and Daur.
- Little issues are found in MQT;
- Final k/g ATR- rendering issues are found in all fonts except MQT and MS, but Erdenechimeg said her font was an early draft and does not met current Unicode standards;
- MU does not follow Unicode Standardized Variants (by ad hoc rendering FVS1~3) in many cases;
- MB 5.00 does not match Unicode Standard, please upgrade it to MB 5.01 (KB929763);
- Under certain situations ᠶ is incorrectly rendered as ᠢ or ᠵ in MB 5.01 and MU 2.37;
- ᡓ is incorrectly rendered as ᠴ in MU 2.37;
- MB 5.01 does not render ᡯᡳ correctly (we may use ᡯᡳ᠌ instead in MB).
