Double GURMUKHI VOWEL SIGN U found in (e.g.) Nehemiah 11:17

[DavidHaslam]

The verse reads:

\v 17 ਅਤੇ ਮਤਨਯਾਹ ਮੀਕਾ ਦਾ ਪੁੱਤ੍ਰ, ਉਹ ਜ਼ਬਈਗ਼ ਦਾ ਪੁੱਤ੍ਰ, ਉਹ ਆਸਾਫ ਦਾ ਪੁੱਤ੍ਰ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਪ੍ਰਾਰਥਨਾ ਲਈ ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਗ਼ ਦਾ ਮੁਖੀਆ ਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਬਕਬੁੁਕਯਾਹ ਉਹ ਦੇ ਭਰਾਵਾਂ ਵਿਚੋਂ ਦੂਜੇ ਦਰਜੇ ਤੇ ਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਅਬਦਾ ਸ਼ਮੂਆ ਦਾ ਪੁੱਤ੍ਰ, ਉਹ ਯਦੂਥੂਨ ਦਾ ਪੁੱਤ੍ਰ

The double U sign is located in the word ਬਕਬੁੁਕਯਾਹ. Observations re Unicode font rendering, as in previous issue.

cf. The same word but with only a single U sign does occur once elsewhere.

This is merely one example. The double U sign occurs in 9 places in the whole work. Suggest search and replace double U sign by single U sign.

[DeepaRani3012]

The word is correct.

[DavidHaslam]

Not so! Admittedly it's not so obvious in the GitHub web environment.

It merely looks correct above due to how GitHub renders Gurmukhi script, but not when you view it with BabelPad or Notepad++.

The extra VOWEL SIGN U is clearly still present, both here in this example, and in 8 other places in the whole Bible.

Please use Notepad++ to search for regexp \x{0A41}{2,} or use BabelPad to search for Unicode escape sequence \u0A41\u0A41

btw. Code2000 font is a general purpose Unicode font that covers a large proportion of the Basic Multilingual Plane.

[DavidHaslam]

"Just because something looks right in some renderings doesn't mean it is right!"

These issues are important because any such words with the extra vowel will not match a search for the word spelled correctly with a single vowel.

[DeepaRani3012]

Corrected now. Please check

[DavidHaslam]

Before I check, please confirm that you corrected all 9 instances, not just this example in Nehemiah 11:17

If the subject of similar issues contains (e.g.) before the in ... that's because I was using the first example to illustrate the wider problem.

[DavidHaslam]

See my recent comments in issue #83 to help you find all the locations.

corrected

[DavidHaslam]

We're all the instances corrected?

[DavidHaslam]

The abbreviation "e.g." means 'for example'.

[DavidHaslam]

Please do not record something is corrected when you have fixed only one instance of the issue that I gave as an example in the subject line.

This leads other users to wrongly conclude that everything covered by the issue is fixed when only the first instance has been edited.

[DavidHaslam]

e.g. There is one instance of double GURMUKHI VOWEL SIGN U in Isaiah 59:10

\v 10 ਅਸੀਂ ਅੰਨ੍ਹਿਆਂ ਵਾਂਙੁ ਕੰਧ ਨੂੰ ਟੋਹੰਦੇ ਹਾਂ, ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਾਂਙੁ ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਅੱਖੀਆਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਅਸੀਂ ਟੋਹੰਦੇ ਹਾਂ, ਅਸੀਂ ਦੁਪਹਿਰ ਨੂੰ ਸੰਝ ਵਾਂਙੁ ਠੇਡਾ ਖਾਂਦੇ ਹਾਂ, ਅਸੀਂ ਮੋਟਿਆਂ ਤਾਜ਼ਿਆਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੁਰਦਿਆਂ ਵਾਂਙੁੁ ਹਾਂ ।

It's found in the last but one word ਵਾਂਙੁੁ, though you can't see it the way GitHub renders it here.
