Hieroglyphic Kenfiles #878

Closed eggrobin closed 4 months ago

eggrobin commented 4 months ago

From @Ken-Whistler:

I've picked up the latest round of fixes for Unikemet.txt from Michel, which should bring us up to date on all the feedback provided on that file.

I also jumped the gun a bit and implemented the changes for the hieroglyph rotation standardized variation sequences in StandardizedVariants.txt.

https://github.com/unicode-org/sah/issues/378

The reason to move ahead on these items right away is that they involve a lot of moving parts for the Egyptian chart generation, and we need to shake this all down ASAP. This work also involves changes by Michel for the Unibook configuration file to properly highlight these changes, as well as changes for new formal name aliases.

I've regenerated NamesList.txt using the updated Unikemet.txt and StandardizedVariants.txt, so Michel will have a new baseline for his own names list work on the DAM and the 17.0 work.

Responding to a syntax issue noted by Michel in attempting to use Unibook with the new Egyptian variation sequences added, I have another small update with the fix in SV.txt and the newly generated names list:

I've added some explanation in the header of SV.txt, so that future maintainers of that file don't stumble over this syntax dependency for how Field 2 is handled in names list generation and interpretation by Unibook.

Note that Ken sent another update of some of these files.

Yes. This needs the update of StandardizedVariants.txt (to fix several parentheticals in entries), and the corresponding generated NamesList.txt
