that would seem to be a promissing path
The only idea I have is to generate a trappable error that could distinguish

Also, you're sacrificing some of the nice relations between some of the J
symbols and making it less well-integrated if you throw in random APL
characters. In the above cases, I'm thinking of the relationships between
the variants of "power":
^ exponentiation, ^. log, ^: power conjunction.

The issue you are encountering here is that adverbs and conjunctions cannot
be arguments to another adverb (or conjunction). Adverbs form trains,
instead.
So you'll need to get them into 5!:1 by reference (that is, by giving them
a name and using that name directly.
Try:
train=:
5!:1 <

"At the APL Moot two years ago, I pointed out that I could cut-and-pasteChinese
characters into my emacs session from the web more successfully
than I could do this with APL"
I'd just add that many of the APL example characters discussed in this thread
have shown up as [square] on chrome webmail
I agree with Raul on this. Retrofitting J to handle APL characters is a lot
of work that when done will not improve what the system can do. It's more
like a software facelift with some botox and liposuction tossed it. Taken

Generally speaking, the forums are probably the right place to start, when
you feel lost.
We should also make an effort to cross link related documentation better.

The following describes material provided in the standard library. If you type
one of the names in a J session, you will see how the name is defined. Notice,
the address says j801 (you use j701 below).

Great, thanks for the quick responses. If my quoting here is off, it's

The idea of J with APL (or APL-like) characters is a perennial topic.
Many of us (myself included) feel that there is a beauty in those symbols.
But I don't think the Jsoftware group should devote *any* time to such
a project. (And I don't think there is any danger of that.)

To avoid problems with u and m (and invisible local names), without bringing in
the full weight of anonymous evoke or equivalent, you could always do something
like

the verbname__location / verbname_location_ format places more emphasis on the
verb or noun inside that locale (assuming a left to right cultural reading
orientation). That appears illogical because nobody else does that, however it

I don't understand what you mean when you say "locals are not
hierarchical". Locales are just name spaces. Locales are implicitly
referenced through path (18!:2). The path determines how locales are
searched to resolve a name not found in the current locale. This search is
hierarchical. The locales

Directories are hierarchical - you can have a directory "inside" another
directory.
There's no way of doing that with locales - they all exist on the same
level (though of course you can have a reference to any locale inside any
locale).

Hey bill, that worked. I don't know why it broke the first time. I'm

Steven: again the implementation is fine, just disorienting for a new user.
If you've been developing for a while, ns::x and ns.x have pretty well
accepted meanings.

I wrote a new tolower for nationalcharactersupport.
I have not done that since J turned Unicode.
To begin with then I did it in JQT on the Android.

It took some time learning how to go about this.

Not sure what is your probleam with tolower. Anyways you can
re-use your old tolower by converting utf8 to latin1, do
everything that you used to and then convert back to unicode.
eg. unicode -> latin1

do not worry latin1 cannot display correctly in J sess
I was adding ÁÉÍÓÚÝÞÆÖ to áéíóúýþæö lower change.
I have no problems.
I used to - not now.
I am happy with JQT but not really adjusted to it yet.
