Hello all,
On 2010-06-30 change became effective for Samogitian
(http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=sgs). There are one
letter which has many problems with rendering. It is E/e with dot above
and macron
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/bat-smg/0/0f/E_smg.jpg). You can
see it in:
http://bat-smg.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C4%97rms_poslapis
atvīk*ė̄* or Vielīb*ė̅*jė. On Linux it is shown (in different shrifts) as
„ė“ with macron between dot and letter or „ė“ with minus near letter
(see attachment). On Windows macron is shown as box (or I haven't any
good shrift). For now all writers use shrift with additional letter, ex.
ftp://ftp.akl.lt/sriftai/Vytis/Naujas_Vytis/Vytis_1.002/ . Simple user
don't use this letter - writes 'atvīk*ėė*' or 'atvīk*ėn*', even
'atvīk*ėi*', but it is against rules.
This letter was introduced in 1998 in Samogitian writing book „Žemaičių
rašyba“ (Samogitian writing) (/ISBN/: 998692071X). Latter it was used in
all Samogitian books. Try to use in IT is complicated.
What I should to do what this letter come to unicode? As I read in
http://www.unicode.org/pending/proposals.html it is better to deal about
it in this thread at first.
Best regards,
Arns Udovīčė
