What do you mean by ”applying a Unicode to ASCII conversion”?
Passing the Unicode encoded text through something like iconv to produce an
ASCII version of it. There are standard mapping tables for the punctuation
symbols that would handle most of the general punctuation block U+2000-206F.
For example left and right double quotes would both be mapped to the
quotation character.
Why would I want to do that? I want my Unicode-encoded text.
I figured that you were suggesting some sort of modification of the
spelling tables.
If the spelling tables are ASCII then I am just pointing out there is a
means of having Unicode encoded text spell checked against them. The
spell checking code could converts the buffer contents to temporary
storage before running. I imagine there will be some fun in mapping
back from the temporary storage to the original buffer contents to
highlight spelling issues.
I imagine this would also work for anyone else working in Unicode where
the spelling checklists are not in Unicode.
There is a solution to the problem. The question is is it worth
implementing? Someone who knows the spell checking code would be able
to say.
