Proposal to Encode Combining Glagolitic Letters in Unicode Ponomar Project Slavonic Computing Initiative Proposal to Encode Combining Glagolitic Letters in Unicode Aleksandr Andreev*, Heinz Miklas, Yuri S$ardt Section 1. Introduction Glagolitic, also kno%n as “Glagolitsa', is an alp$abetic writing s(stem used to record C$urc$ Slavonic and other Slavic languages) Originating in t$e 9t$ centur(, it is t$e earliest kno%n Slavonic alp$abet. ,$e creation o- the alp$abet is attributed to t$e younger o- the teac$ers o- the Slavs, St. C(ril) Glagolitic writing may be found in medi.val manuscripts and in printed liturgical books, mostl( o- a Croatian origin. In Bulgaria, Glagolitic was graduall( replaced b( t$e C(rillic alp$abet, and this C(rillic alp$abet was subse0uentl( used also b( other Slavs) For its part, the Glagolitic script has been preserved b( some communities in Croatia even up to t$e present) E2tant Glagolitic te2ts are o- enormous value to linguists, pal.ograp$ers, and sc$olars o- liturg() Support for Glagolitic in the Unicode standard is re0uired -or t%o purposes) 1irst, contemporar( specialists need to be able to typograp$icall( represent medi.val te2ts written in the Glagolitic script, both in printed matter 3suc$ as academic publications4 and in an electronic format (-or use %it$ computer anal(sis, suc$ as string comparison, %ordlist generation and searc$ing4) ,o this end, computer fonts that contain the repertoire o- Glagolitic c$aracters must be created) Second, o%ing to t$e close relations$ip bet%een the C(rillic and Glagolitic writing s(stems, sc$olars have traditionall( represented Glagolitic te2ts also in C(rillic transcription. To facilitate t$e transliteration process, an encoding model that parallels the model for t$e C(rillic script needs to be available for Glagolitic) ,$e base repertoire o- Glagolitic c$aracters has been included in t$e Unicode standard since version 5)6) Nonetheless, t$is repertoire is incomplete because it lacks combining Glagolitic letters) Suc$ combining letters e2ist in t$e Glagolitic script and play a function t$at is analogous to t$eir role in C(rillic – that is, the( are used in abbreviations t$at are either space saving devices (-or e2ample, commonl( written words are o-ten abbreviated4 or in nomina sacra) For full support o- t$e Glagolitic %riting s(stem in Unicode, as well as for proper interoperability between the implementations o- the Glagolitic and C(rillic scripts, %e propose t$e encoding o- t$ese combining c$aracters in an additional block entitled Glagolitic Extended) Section 2. Proposed Characters ,$e follo%ing table contains e2amples o- combining Glagolitic letters t$at occur in various Glagolitic manuscripts and in printed literature) 9e propose to encode t$e c$aracters as one block, in t$e same codepoint order as t$e base Glagolitic letters encoded at U:;C66 and follo%ing. T$is allo%s for simple computer manipulation o- Glagolitic c$aracters, as well as leaving some encoding positions empty to be used in the unlikel( instance t$at additional combining c$aracters are discovered b( researc$ers and need to be encoded) Note that since a Glagolitic Extension is not in t$e Roadmaps to Unicode, all o- t$e indicated codepoints in t$is proposal are provisional codepoints in t$e Private Use Area (PUA4) * Corresponding aut$or, aleksandr.andreev=gmail.com) Name Codepoint Appearance Location in Sources Combining Glagolitic U+E066 ◌◌ Srez., p) 4;> MissSin, ?@v?A, 55r?BC?D, Letter Azu 5Ev;6> PsDem, ;DvB, 4;rD, 1?ArE Combining Glagolitic U+E06?

  • Djerv and Bölzer to Inferno Metal Festival 2020
    DJERV AND BÖLZER TO INFERNO METAL FESTIVAL 2020 We are proud to announce that the Norwegian metal band DJERV and Switzerland's black/death metal duo BÖLZER will perform at Inferno Metal Festival 2020! INFERNO METAL FESTIVAL 2020: MAYHEM – KAMPFAR – VED BUENS ENDE – CADAVER – MYRKSKOG – BÖLZER – DJERV – SYLVAINE – VALKYRJA DJERV Djerv was formed in 2010 with members from such bands as Animal Alpha, Stonegard and Trelldom. In 2011 they released their self titled debut album to critical acclaim. Their fresh mixture of catchy hard rock and more aggressive metal hit a nerve with their listeners. After only two days in sale the album crashed into the official Norwegian sales charts at an impressive # 8. After some years with heavy touring the band went into hibernation. Now they are back – stronger than ever! After five years the band has returned and will unleash their madness at Inferno Metal Festival 2020! https://www.facebook.com/djervmusic/ BÖLZER Attention came quickly to Switzerland's Bölzer after their 2012 demo “Roman Acupuncture” and subsequent EP “Aura” in 2013 due to their ability to create fascinating black metal melodies and dissonant structures with only two members in the band. Their debut album “Hero” was released in 2016 and was incredibly well received and as such the duo have been invited to play all over the world. Now it is time to finally play at Inferno Metal Festival! https://www.facebook.com/erosatarms/ INFERNO METAL FESTIVAL 2020 Inferno Metal Festival 2020 marks the 20 years anniversary of the festival. This makes the festival the longest running metal festival in Norway and one of the most important extreme metal festivals in the world.

  • Unicode Request for Cyrillic Modifier Letters Superscript Modifiers
    Unicode request for Cyrillic modifier letters L2/21-107 Kirk Miller, [email protected] 2021 June 07 This is a request for spacing superscript and subscript Cyrillic characters. It has been favorably reviewed by Sebastian Kempgen (University of Bamberg) and others at the Commission for Computer Supported Processing of Medieval Slavonic Manuscripts and Early Printed Books. Cyrillic-based phonetic transcription uses superscript modifier letters in a manner analogous to the IPA. This convention is widespread, found in both academic publication and standard dictionaries. Transcription of pronunciations into Cyrillic is the norm for monolingual dictionaries, and Cyrillic rather than IPA is often found in linguistic descriptions as well, as seen in the illustrations below for Slavic dialectology, Yugur (Yellow Uyghur) and Evenki. The Great Russian Encyclopedia states that Cyrillic notation is more common in Russian studies than is IPA (‘Transkripcija’, Bol’šaja rossijskaja ènciplopedija, Russian Ministry of Culture, 2005–2019). Unicode currently encodes only three modifier Cyrillic letters: U+A69C ⟨ꚜ⟩ and U+A69D ⟨ꚝ⟩, intended for descriptions of Baltic languages in Latin script but ubiquitous for Slavic languages in Cyrillic script, and U+1D78 ⟨ᵸ⟩, used for nasalized vowels, for example in descriptions of Chechen. The requested spacing modifier letters cannot be substituted by the encoded combining diacritics because (a) some authors contrast them, and (b) they themselves need to be able to take combining diacritics, including diacritics that go under the modifier letter, as in ⟨ᶟ̭̈⟩BA . (See next section and e.g. Figure 18. ) In addition, some linguists make a distinction between spacing superscript letters, used for phonetic detail as in the IPA tradition, and spacing subscript letters, used to denote phonological concepts such as archiphonemes.

  • +1. Introduction 2. Cyrillic Letter Rumanian Yn
    MAIN.HTM 10/13/2006 06:42 PM +1. INTRODUCTION These are comments to "Additional Cyrillic Characters In Unicode: A Preliminary Proposal". I'm examining each section of that document, as well as adding some extra notes (marked "+" in titles). Below I use standard Russian Cyrillic characters; please be sure that you have appropriate fonts installed. If everything is OK, the following two lines must look similarly (encoding CP-1251): (sample Cyrillic letters) АабВЕеЗКкМНОопРрСсТуХхЧЬ (Latin letters and digits) Aa6BEe3KkMHOonPpCcTyXx4b 2. CYRILLIC LETTER RUMANIAN YN In the late Cyrillic semi-uncial Rumanian/Moldavian editions, the shape of YN was very similar to inverted PSI, see the following sample from the Ноул Тестамент (New Testament) of 1818, Neamt/Нямец, folio 542 v.: file:///Users/everson/Documents/Eudora%20Folder/Attachments%20Folder/Addons/MAIN.HTM Page 1 of 28 MAIN.HTM 10/13/2006 06:42 PM Here you can see YN and PSI in both upper- and lowercase forms. Note that the upper part of YN is not a sharp arrowhead, but something horizontally cut even with kind of serif (in the uppercase form). Thus, the shape of the letter in modern-style fonts (like Times or Arial) may look somewhat similar to Cyrillic "Л"/"л" with the central vertical stem looking like in lowercase "ф" drawn from the middle of upper horizontal line downwards, with regular serif at the bottom (horizontal, not slanted): Compare also with the proposed shape of PSI (Section 36). 3. CYRILLIC LETTER IOTIFIED A file:///Users/everson/Documents/Eudora%20Folder/Attachments%20Folder/Addons/MAIN.HTM Page 2 of 28 MAIN.HTM 10/13/2006 06:42 PM I support the idea that "IA" must be separated from "Я".

  • Sinitic Language and Script in East Asia: Past and Present
    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 264 December, 2016 Sinitic Language and Script in East Asia: Past and Present edited by Victor H. Mair Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS FOUNDED 1986 Editor-in-Chief VICTOR H. MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor-in-chief actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including romanized modern standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino- Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. Submissions are regularly sent out to be refereed, and extensive editorial suggestions for revision may be offered. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form.

With the development of human writing systems ways of written communication have also changed (Cvitić, 2011, 3), new scripts have been developed (such as Glagolitic script – script created in 9th century), as well as new signs in existing scripts. Digital age is accelerating written communication is introducing a large number of new signs (monkey, emotions etc.). Although Glagolitic script is not in official use any more its comeback through projects which popularize cultural heritage (project Fabula Croatica for example) has resulted in designing glagolitic fonts (Epistula Croatica and Misal DPG) available for public use. The existance of glagolitic fonts has led to their use in digital medias what brought about the need for introducing new signs to existing Glagolitic script system. The criteria for introducing new signs into the fund of existing glagolitic fonts was the insurance of transcripting given forms to English language. In accordance with the stated criteria it is decided to add signs representing letters Q, X, Y, W and punctuation marks like monkey, ampersand, question mark, exclamation mark and similar to the existing glagolitic font.

  • Old Cyrillic in Unicode*
    Old Cyrillic in Unicode* Ivan A Derzhanski Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences [email protected] The current version of the Unicode Standard acknowledges the existence of a pre- modern version of the Cyrillic script, but its support thereof is limited to assigning code points to several obsolete letters. Meanwhile mediæval Cyrillic manuscripts and some early printed books feature a plethora of letter shapes, ligatures, diacritic and punctuation marks that want proper representation. (In addition, contemporary editions of mediæval texts employ a variety of annotation signs.) As generally with scripts that predate printing, an obvious problem is the abundance of functional, chronological, regional and decorative variant shapes, the precise details of whose distribution are often unknown. The present contents of the block will need to be interpreted with Old Cyrillic in mind, and decisions to be made as to which remaining characters should be implemented via Unicode’s mechanism of variation selection, as ligatures in the typeface, or as code points in the Private space or the standard Cyrillic block. I discuss the initial stage of this work. The Unicode Standard (Unicode 4.0.1) makes a controversial statement: The historical form of the Cyrillic alphabet is treated as a font style variation of modern Cyrillic because the historical forms are relatively close to the modern appearance, and because some of them are still in modern use in languages other than Russian (for example, U+0406 “I” CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER I is used in modern Ukrainian and Byelorussian). Some of the letters in this range were used in modern typefaces in Russian and Bulgarian.

  • Learning Cyrillic
    LEARNING CYRILLIC Question: If there is no equivalent letter in the Cyrillic alphabet for the Roman "J" or "H" how do you transcribe good German names like Johannes, Heinrich, Wilhelm, etc. I heard one suggestion that Johann was written as Ivan and that the "h" was replaced with a "g". Can you give me a little insight into what you have found? In researching would I be looking for the name Ivan rather than Johann? One must always think phonetic, that is, think how a name is pronounced in German, and how does the Russian Cyrillic script produce that sound? JOHANNES. The Cyrillic spelling begins with the letter “I – eye”, but pronounced “eee”, so we have phonetically “eee-o-hann” which sounds like “Yo-hann”. You can see it better in typeface – Иоганн , which letter for letter reads as “I-o-h-a-n-n”. The modern Typeface script is radically different than the old hand-written Cyrillic script. Use the guide which I sent to you. Ivan is the Russian equivalent of Johann, and it pops up occasionally in Church records. JOSEPH / JOSEF. Listen to the way the name is pronounced in German – “yo-sef”, also “yo-sif”. That “yo” sound is produced by the Cyrillic script letters “I” and “o”. Again you can see it in the typeface. Иосеф and also Иосиф. And sometimes Joseph appears as , transliterated as O-s-i-p. Similar to all languages and scripts, Cyrillic spellings are not consistent. The “a” ending indicates a male name. JAKOB. There is no “Jay” sound in the German language.
