Does the written language use upper and lower case? If so, would the word "kwang" be capitalized "Kwang" or "KWang"? > The users seem determined to put the entire alphabet into the PUA, thus > making a single character for , , etc. I would like to be > able to present them with something that works and avoid this kind of > catastrophe. (Interesting how my ISP's "WebMail" is dropping the material which was in angle brackets, even though I'm replying in plain text.) If your users wanted to change their orthography (probably a big IF), they could use single characters like the ENG for "ng" and maybe the "ij ligature" for "ii". Best regards, James Kass
