Accented ý not converted properly to syllabics #1186

From Nima Farid nimafarid2007@gmail.com to altlab+itwewina

I noticed that there was a new update, with the SRO, which added the letter "ý", as the specific "y" sound that varies across dialects, becoming "th" or "n" or whatever else.

It's a great and useful update, BUT it seems that the conversion algorithm behind the syllabics display for the website wasn't updated. And now, this letter ý doesn't show up properly as ᔨᔦ‌ᔪᔭ or even as ᖨᖧ‌ᖬᖪ (the th-sound). It just shows as a floating Latin letter in between the syllabics.

@fbanados I'm not sure if we can modify the original code by Eddie, or convert <ý> to before using that code.

We can convert <ý> before using Eddie's code. Eventually we could change that library to deal with <ý> as well. If Eddie can't (time, etc.), we can fork the library.

I will make the change to fix the current behaviour in itwewina asap. The long term solution would be to fix the library.

Emergency fix deployed.
