I was hoping to find a good example text here, but this still just covers a fraction of ascii. In 2020, you have to expect das große ß und من اليمين الى اليسار and perhaps even ө, ү, ң (which should be the same height as о, у, and н[1]). So far [2] is the only page I've found with some representative samples.

- Someone 6y agoI guess you mean Unicode, not ascii. It covers just a fraction (about half of it) of ascii, but not for those reasons. I would add digits and more punctuation. Question marks, for example, can be cases where type designers let loose their creativity. I think the sample also is biased towards English. It’s missing letter combinations such as “sch” and “cht” that aren’t uncommon in German (or French, which has the wonderful word “schtroumpfs” since 1958), or the pairs “au” or “oe”, used in Dutch, all of which may have ligatures.
