unicode problem

Exez · Post by **Exez** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 5:10 am

In the proto-eastern page we have this table (it's the first table in the article)

Cuêzi Caďinor Axunašin Obenzayet Lufaša
bāsi faucir šagi hägia fä
bērede veredes šeirvi häraziz fei
ferêde vehend šejiz ha?äd fe

For some reason, the word I have bolded, appears with a question mark instead of a middle letter (ha?ad).

I guess it's a letter that exists in a unicode font I have not installed. How can i fix it?

As I recall in Obenzayet Zomp uses ? to represent a glottal stop.

Yes, the ? on that page for Obenzayet represents a glottal stop. Now that the web has caught up to word processors, I'll have to update the page.

Why don't you use 7 like you do in Flaidish?

Updated the page.

I used 7 for Flaidish because at that time browsers generally didn't support Unicode. (And a lot of people hated it, too.) I will probably update the Flaidish pages some time as well.

So do you intend to use ʔ for Flaidish too, eventually?

PS. When can we expect the next Metaverse update?

Yes. The 7 was a makeshift; my original Word doc has the glottal stop symbol, which is also used on Almeopedia.

PS. When can we expect the next Metaverse update?

My attorney advises me not to post projections. Not after The Incident.

I am afraid to ask

Aw, no more maps.

Don't be silly. He'll simply have to post curved maps. Or, alternatively, retcon the world to being flat.
