Relation to Littré

edit

What relation does this dictionary have to the Dictionnaire de la langue française, better known as Littré? Colin McLarty (talk) 11:51, 10 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Obviously, this is a very old question, but if anyone is still wondering, the Dictionnaire de la langue française is a publication by Hachette, originally compiled by Émile Littré back in the mid-19th century. While he did use the Academy's dictionary as one of his sources, he was not limited to it, including many new words (technical terms, colloquialisms, etc.) not found in it. The [French Wikipedia article] has more information on it. Mahousu (talk) 01:41, 1 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Relevance of the Encoding section?

edit

I was wondering what the relevance of the Encoding section is. To me, it seems like a fun fact which is only loosely connected to the dictionary. I am tempted to remove it, but I wanted to see if anyone can explain its significance to me Epecha (talk) 22:33, 13 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
