Accessible symbols

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]
