Error in Grantha "au" #13

Closed akprasad closed 8 months ago

akprasad commented 9 months ago

I believe the Grantha "au" vowel sign should be rendered as 𑌕𑍌 , but 𑌕𑍗 is produced instead.

I don't know Grantha well, so I might be mistaken.

See https://github.com/ambuda-org/vidyut/issues/84 for details.

It's modern convention vs old convention.

If I'm correct, late prints from Tamil Nadu use only the right-hand part.

You'll see publications using both.

IMHO the modern Malayalam style au should be the default form and the Tamil-style au should be an alternate form, if it helps,

Aksharamukha has an option to toggle this.

Thank you for the information! As usual, Aksharamukha is outstanding. +cc @deepestblue given our earlier discussion on this point.
