translationKeyboard problems with combining diacritics #24

Open eCyclops opened 8 years ago

eCyclops commented 8 years ago

In tk.unfoldingword.org there is a problem when using combining diacritics in keyboards. Understanding that first choice is to use combined glyphs, in some cases these are not available. ɛ and ɔ, for example, have no unicode glyphs that include diacritics.

1) when saving a key in tk, when that key has multiple character codes associated, it reverses the codes. This can be worked around by either entering the key codes backwards, or by opening the key again and saving it again.

2) the combined keys thus produced don't show up on the Android tablet using the keyboard (other long press options appear, but any glyphs produced by combining characters don't).

Please refer to http://tk.unfoldingword.org/keyboard/variant/186 for examples.
