The encoding has separate characters for the start and end of a cartouche. This is because cartouches can span across more than one word, and so fonts need both ends delineated to know which letters they extend over.

== Displaying Derani on Discord ==
Below are instructions for displaying the Derani script on Discord:
* '''(#1)''' Download and install the font at
<nowiki>https://github.com/toaq/fonts/releases/</nowiki> on your OS (for MS Windows, picking the TTF file may be recommendable) ;
* '''(#2)''' Install Better Discord, OpenAsar or another equivalent, which will add several customization options to the interface of Discord;
* '''(#3)''' Open Discord, then open the custom CSS dialog (in the case of Better Discord, go to ⚙ ⊳ Custom CSS), and there copy-paste the following:
<code>:root {</code>
<code>  --font-primary: "gg sans", "Noto Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Derani, sans-serif;</code>
<code>}</code>
<code>[id^="message-content-"] {</code>
<code>   line-height: normal;</code>
<code>}</code>
Then, click “Save”, then “Update” (or alternatively, “Live Update”).
* '''(#4)''' Kill Discord, then restart it (doing Ctrl+R is apparently not enough; merely closing the application may not necessarily be sufficient).
