aphillips commented 2 years ago

fixed the typo on user-perceived character causing other specs not to find it
Edits of character encoding to add 'character encoding form'
Created 'extended grapheme cluster' definition from the wording in specdev (but reworded)
Added a definition for 'universal character set' and Unicode. Perhaps 'Unicode' could be controversial?

Thanks!

how about to add lang=ja to characters not in English?

Argh. I knew i'd forgotten something. I'll create a patch for it when adding some 'see also' links.

(just for comment, I believe no well confirmed standard there...) wikipedia じ uses U+291 instead of U+292 (and in some Japanese dictionary, just /ʒi/ within a word...)

See https://r12a.github.io/scripts/jpan/#yotsugana. I considered this when providing the example, and decided maybe best to just use the simplest rendering, which is closest to what most gaijin would say. I wasn't trying to get a pinpoint accurate phonetic rendering, just indicate rough pronunciation with generally recognisable (IPA) letters. I can change it if we think it could be better.

I added a commit that fixes the missing lang tag. It also adds some cross-references for natural language/localizable text/syntactic content.
