Spelling and status

The Danish spelling dictionary gives special sorting rules involving aa and å. A spelling with aa can remain part of a person's or place's name, so an automatic replacement is not an editorial correction. The copy collection includes é as an additional accented form represented in Danish locale data. [40], [9]

Distinctions to preserve

Keep ø separate from ö and from the empty-set symbol ∅. Unicode does not canonically decompose ø into o plus a slash, and it does not normalize aa into å. Such substitutions require a separate policy and should not happen during an exact copy action. [40], [9], [1], [2]

Typing and text forms

Copying is exact; preview circles are excluded. Compare normalization forms.

Word for Windows: Select a hex code, then Alt+X; repeat for each scalar.
Mac and mobile: Hold a letter for supported variants; use Character Viewer on Mac or a language keyboard on mobile.
HTML: Use UTF-8 text or the numeric references in Details, in order.

Language evidence: CLDR 48.2and the IANA registry dated 2026-08-08. Main and auxiliary exemplars are distinct. CLDR exemplars are not complete orthographies.
Review and limitations: The dataset is derived from the sources above. Editorial guides cite additional scoped authorities. No native or specialist orthography approval is implied. Release scope date: 14 September 2026. Historic or specialist usage needs separate evidence. Registry-only records have unknown orthography in this release.
