FW: Plane-2-only string i18nguy supplementary-test page

I am the author of the supplementary-test page on i18nguy.com. The method for choosing the characters is described on the page, so isn’t a mystery. See below. I do not believe any of the characters are offensive, although context matters greatly and languages evolve, so it is possible

Re: Plane-2-only string

With over a thousand Zhuang characters, Zhuang would work, though of course would not have punctuation. Of the top of my head something like:- 톸톛昭퓨쾀쿇 톸톨퓨멒얙 컹퓨፹왙෯꽖 In romanised Zhuang:- Gou bae ranz gyoengqde gou youq ranz ndaw gwn haeux aen ranz baihlaeng miz naz In English:- I went

Perhaps the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martian_language should be considered as a way to construct an example Chinese sentence from characters that are only within Plane2? Probably coukd be understand by more people than something Cantonese too

Any font would likely map the space (and probably for any CJK font the ideographic space). As well the newline don't need any font, it is synthetized by renderers. This could be used to compose some Japanese-like Aiku with some meaning... 2017-11-13 23:54 GMT+01:00 James Kass via Unicode

RE: Plane-2-only string

I discussed this with one of my Chinese co-workers, and we came up with the following: “

RE: Plane-2-only string

Would a typical Chinese speaker be likely to recognize these as used in Cantonese? (I wouldn't want to have a font's sample-text string give the impression that it's a Cantonese font — unless it were specifically intended for Cantonese.) -Original Message- From: jenk...@apple.com

Many of characters in the CJK Compatibility Ideographs Supplement block are quite common Chinese characters, or variants thereof. You could try and build Chinese sentences with these characters. On Mon, 13 Nov 2017 at 20:20 GMT+01:00 Peter Constable via Unicode wrote: I’m wondering if anyone

Re: Plane-2-only string

A font's sample text can be used in place of the default "The quick brown fox..." text which is used to illustrate the typeface in applications which support that feature. One approach would be to find a non-gibberish text string using some Plane 2 characters and add the BMP glyphs to the font

Plane-2-only string

I’m wondering if anyone could come up with a string of 15 to 40 characters _using only plane 2 characters_ that wouldn’t be gibberish? We are considering adding sample-text strings in some of our fonts. (In OpenType, the ‘name’ table can take sample-text strings using name ID 19.) One
