3.1.3 Unusual Words

(Level AAA)

A mechanism is available for identifying specific definitions of words or phrases used in an unusual or restricted way, including idioms and jargon.

Applying SC 3.1.3 Unusual Words to Non-Web Documents and Software

This applies directly as written, and as described in Intent from Understanding Success Criterion 3.1.3.

Note: @@ Might need notes on this, as I doubt there is a lot of existing support for this in non-web software. Not sure about support in non-web documents either.@@


For WCAG2ICT consideration:

  • Need to consider what notes might be appropriate for this SC, considering there may be a lack of platform support for this like there is in the Web. Same goes for closed functionality.
