Kannada lR / lRR #1

Closed ghost closed 11 years ago

ghost commented 12 years ago

In the code comments you've mentioned that Kannada lacks lR and lRR, which is not true. These codepoints are just fyi:

0C8B -- vocalic R (short vowel)
0C8C -- vocalic L (short vowel)
0CE0 -- vocalic RR (long vowel)
0CE1 -- vocalic LL (long vowel)

Fonts like Code2000 are also capable of displaying these characters, hope you can incorporate it, would be useful while transliterating Sanskrit to Kannada. Thanks, good work btw !

Thanks for letting me know. I've updated the code to add support for these letters.

Do you know if Kannada has any support for the L/LL vowel marks (i.e. dependent vowels)?

ghost commented 11 years ago

Yes, they do exist:

0CE2 -- dependent vowel sign for vocalic L 0CE3 -- dependent vowel sign for vocalic LL

You can find the complete Unicode chart for Kannada here

Aha! I had the right chart, but I was looking in the wrong place. Thanks for letting me know; Sanscript should now have full support for Kannada.
