You're probably using Windows XP, which requires you to install a Cherokee font in order to view the characters. Windows Vista and Max OS X have support for Cherokee built in, and I'm sure many Linux distributions do the same. If we replaced every character that Windows XP users couldn't see with an image, it would be a nightmare. Take the article Japanese writing system, for example. It would be hideous if images were used in place of characters throughout the article. It is the user's responsibility to install foreign script support in order to view foregin characters.
On Windows XP, you can improve your ability to view foreign characters by installing some additional operating system files. Go to Control Panel, open Regional and Language Options, and on the Languages tab check "Install files for complex scripts and right-to-left languages (including Thai)" and "Install files for East Asian languages". Then click OK, and once installation is complete you should be able to see many more characters, though you will still need to find a Cherokee font to see Cherokee characters. This article on the Cherokee Wikipedia might help. —Remember the dot (talk) 22:55, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I got this photo off of my desktop and apparently didn't input it into wikipedia correctly. What do I need to have filled out that I haven't already so that I can use this photo to replace the old one??
