There are a few special characters you will see on this Wikipedia, '''ȝ''', '''ƿ''', '''þ''', '''ð''', '''æ''', '''ċ''', the macron accent mark ( '''¯''' ), as well as the Anglo-Saxon runes. In order to see the Runic characters, you will need any font which has Unicode compliance within the "Runic" range. The recommended font to save to your computer is '''[http://sourceforge.net/projects/junicode/files/ Junicode]''', as its Runic characters are well-designed and evenly spaced. You will also need to have JavaScript enabled on your web browser to properly view the automatically converted page versions. It is usually enabled by default, but it can be disabled. If you suspect that JavaScript is disabled on your browser, you should see [http://www.ehow.com/how_4811781_turn-javascript-back.html this page for Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari instructions], [http://www.ehow.com/how_6927197_turn-javascript-google-chrome.html this page for Google Chrome instructions], and [http://www.ehow.com/how_5054653_turn-java-script.html this page for Opera, Internet Explorer, and Firefox instructions].
The macron is used to represent a long vowel to help distinguish between words which would otherwise appear indistinguishable ('''īs''' vs '''is'''). The acute accent is often used in the same manner, but for consistency the macron should be used

As with anything else, in order to type in Old English, you will need the proper tools to fit the job.
# A software-based keyboard can be downloaded [http://megse.unm.edu/research/internal/keyboards.html here]. The provided link also includes instructions on how to type the extra characters, installation, and switching between keyboards. Alternatively, you can create your own software-based custom keyboard layout with a program such as [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/goglobal/bb964665.aspx Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator]. This allows you to organize the extra characters according to what feels natural to you.
# An alternative is to use the Icelandic keyboard layout, although this will not cover the full range of characters you will need.
# If you
# You can use ALT codes. A table of numeric values for Windows-based systems is provided on [[Help:On Englisce Ƿrītan]], and on Macintosh, the custom Anglo-Saxon layout (which is based on '''US International''') is shown [http://groups.google.com/group/eald-englisc/web/rtende-englisc-on-num-mac here].

Useful resources relating to modern terminology can be found on the [[NWT|Neologism proposal page]] as well as the [[Hu secge ic|"How do I say_?"]] page. The first relates directly to tackling the issues mentioned in this section, and the second deals with using the best existing terminology, reapplied to the modern world. You will find both to be very helpful.
Finally, you need to remember that it is of utmost importance that you are ''understood'' by other people when they encounter your term for the first time. As such, it is important that all neologisms and also historical words used with new meanings in an article should be documented on the article's talk page, using the [[bysen:wordgetæl|wordgetæl]] template. The list of words should be bulletted and contained within the [[template:noc|noc]] template, to ensure that phonological notation will not be muddled by automated page conversion.
