Hello dear list members,
I have been checking out the Mongolian characters in the latest version of
Unicode. The range is between 1800 and 18AF.
Unfortunately, I have explored some serious errors.
*There are perhaps no middle and final forms of the characters.*
Mongolian characters have variations depending on its location within a
word, same situation as in the Arabic script.
I couldn't find middle and final forms of most of the characters. And as I
tried them (at least on Windows XP), it doesn't automatically converts to
its middle/final form when it is typed after a character without space.
Please note that I have no experience on how Windows Vista regulated it,
though, I think it should be possible for Windows XP.
*Most of the basic character (called 'shüd' in Mongolian) is not found.*
It maybe is 1807 (MONGOLIAN SIBE SYLLABLE BOUNDARY MARKER) as it is supposed
to be. But it seems to be NOT it is supposed to be as I try to type it after
a character: it seems a bit longer than the original character is.
Could somebody please inform me on that?
Best Regards
Dagvadorj GALBADRAKH
