TLG and Beta code

2003-08-26 Thread Raymond Mercier
Last January when I asked if the Greek symbol for one-half might be included somewhere in Unicode I was led to understand that not only that but a whole range of Greek symbols were being proposed by the TLG people. There was for example http://www.tlg.uci.edu/Uni.prop.html. Indeed the Beta co

This is an issue which has come up on the Unicode Hebrew list but has not been resolved there... There is a requirement in some cases, depending on the typographical convention in use, to form a ligature between the combining marks U+05BD HEBREW POINT METEG and any one of the three "hataf" vowe
