A character with the property Grapheme_Extend.
* Grapheme extender characters consist of all nonspacing marks, zero width joiner, zero width non-joiner, U+FF9E, U+FF9F, and a small number of spacing marks.
* A grapheme extender can be conceived of primarily as the kind of nonspacing graphical mark that is applied above or below another spacing character.
* zero width joiner and zero width non-joiner are formally defined to be grapheme extenders so that their presence does not break up a sequence of other grapheme extenders.
* The small number of spacing marks that have the property Grapheme_Extend are all the second parts of a two-part combining mark.
* The set of characters with the Grapheme_Extend property and the set of characters with the Grapheme_Base property are disjoint, by definition.

A character with the General Category of Letter (L), Combining Mark (M), Number (N), Punctuation (P), Symbol (S), or Space Separator (Zs).
* Graphic characters specifically exclude the line and paragraph separators (Zl, Zp), as well as the characters with the General Category of Other (Cn, Cs, Cc, Cf).
* The interpretation of private-use characters (Co) as graphic characters or not is determined by the implementation.

A nonspacing mark is said to apply to its associated grapheme base.
* The associated grapheme base is the grapheme base in the grapheme cluster that a nonspacing mark is part of.
* A nonspacing mark in a defective combining character sequence is not part of a grapheme cluster and is subject to the same kinds of fallback processing as for any defective combining character sequence.
* Graphic application concerns visual rendering issues and thus is an issue for nonspacing marks that have visible glyphs. Those glyphs interact, in rendering, with their grapheme base.

In the Devanagari script and certain other scripts of the Brahmi family of Indic scripts, a dead consonant may be depicted in the so-called half-form. This form is composed of the distinctive part of a consonant letter symbol without its vertical stem. It may be used to create conjunct forms that follow a horizontal layout pattern. Also known as half-form.

Characters of East Asian character sets whose glyph image occupies half of the character display cell. In legacy character sets, halfwidth characters are normally encoded in a single byte. The Japanese term for halfwidth characters is hankaku.
