Most computers have an indicator light that turns off when NumLock is off. • From the font window, select SILDoulosIPA93 (or one of the other SIL fonts). These are downloadable for free from http://www.sil.org/computing/fonts/encore-ipa.html. • Hold down the Alt key, then on the keypad type the access code (not the IPA number) of the symbol as it it listed below. • Release the Alt key, and the correct symbol should appear on the screen.

  • The Brill Typeface User Guide & Complete List of Characters
    The Brill Typeface User Guide & Complete List of Characters Version 2.06, October 31, 2014 Pim Rietbroek Preamble Few typefaces – if any – allow the user to access every Latin character, every IPA character, every diacritic, and to have these combine in a typographically satisfactory manner, in a range of styles (roman, italic, and more); even fewer add full support for Greek, both modern and ancient, with specialised characters that papyrologists and epigraphers need; not to mention coverage of the Slavic languages in the Cyrillic range. The Brill typeface aims to do just that, and to be a tool for all scholars in the humanities; for Brill’s authors and editors; for Brill’s staff and service providers; and finally, for anyone in need of this tool, as long as it is not used for any commercial gain.* There are several fonts in different styles, each of which has the same set of characters as all the others. The Unicode Standard is rigorously adhered to: there is no dependence on the Private Use Area (PUA), as it happens frequently in other fonts with regard to characters carrying rare diacritics or combinations of diacritics. Instead, all alphabetic characters can carry any diacritic or combination of diacritics, even stacked, with automatic correct positioning. This is made possible by the inclusion of all of Unicode’s combining characters and by the application of extensive OpenType Glyph Positioning programming. Credits The Brill fonts are an original design by John Hudson of Tiro Typeworks. Alice Savoie contributed to Brill bold and bold italic. The black-letter (‘Fraktur’) range of characters was made by Karsten Lücke.

Berdnikov and O.A. Grineva Institute of Analytical Instrumentation 198103 St.Petersburg, Rizskii pr. 26 email: [email protected] Abstract. The problems of using the internal command \accent as a tool for support of some Cyrillic writing systems is investigated. It is shown that the internal features of \accent prevent construction of some Cyrillic letters which require several accents simultaneously. A special macro which emulates the work of \accent by some other commands is suggested. The accents for I/i and J/j, which are different for uppercase and lowercase letters, are also considered. If-then-else structures by use of which correct accents can be placed, depending on the letter case, are proposed. A similar technique can be used for case change of the Cyrillic “capital form” ligatures and .

  • Reference Chart for IPA Typography
    Hagiwara – Reference Chart for IPA Typography Reference Chart for IPA Typography Robert Hagiwara University of Manitoba Version 1.1 October 2002 Overview This table is intended to provide quick and concise reference for people who want to type or refer to IPA characters in either the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) IPA Encore fonts or using Unicode. I refer to this table often in general word processing and in web-based documents associated with my monthly mystery spectrograms (http://www.umanitoba.ca/linguistics/robh/), and believe others might find it useful as well. The SIL fonts are available as freeware from SIL (Summer Institute of Linguistics, 2002). They are True Type fonts and, once installed, can be used like any standard font in computer word processing and similar applications. For word processing SIL encourages the use of a standard keyboard, but provides a table of codes which allow typing in an individual character by using the Alt key (or Option key on Macs). The typist holds down the Alt key and enters (using the number pad) a four-digit code. The Unicode standard is an international character-coding standard that is useful for Generalized Markup Language kinds of applications, such as HyperText Markup Language (HTML) for web pages. Each IPA character (indeed, just about every alphabetic character in just about every language) has been assigned a unique code, which can be referred to as a symbol in an HTML document. The codes may be entered as either a decimal or a hexadecimal number. In HTML, symbol codes start with an ampersand identifier “&” followed by a number sign “#”, and end with a semi-colon “;”.

  • Unicode Latin and IPA Characters Version 0.41, February 17, 2011 / by Pim Rietbroek
    Alphabetic List of Unicode Latin and IPA Characters Version 0.41, February 17, 2011 / By Pim Rietbroek Instruments for Authors 1) Purpose of this document With the implementation of Unicode on practically every computer sold today we have gained access to a huge character set, which is also robust in that it transfers very well across computer programs and platforms. But finding a way to input a specific character carrying an accent or a diacritic, ḥ for instance, is sometimes not so easy. The character charts found on the Unicode website are for the most part not arranged alphabetically. And computer manufacturers have at the moment of this writing not supplied a generic input method or keyboard file that gives easy access to all Latin and IPA characters which are to be found in the Unicode Standard. In the absence of such solutions I have compiled an alphabetic list of Latin and IPA characters encoded in the Unicode Standard with their corresponding hexadecimal code point value (hexadecimal – or ‘base-16’ – numbers run from 0 to 9 and then up from A to F). 2) Accents and Diacritics: ‘Precomposed’ versus ‘Decomposed’ In the previous paragraph the word ‘character’ was used loosely to mean both a single letter like a and an accented letter like á. Without going into the details of the Unicode Standard it is important to note that while many accented letters are encoded as separate so-called ‘precomposed’ characters (like á) they are just as validly encoded in an analytic way (‘decomposed’) as ‘base letter plus combining diacritic(s)’, like a plus ◌́ (the latter character being ‘combining acute accent’, Unicode hexadecimal 0301; the dotted circle is only displayed here to show that the accent will be combined with the previous character).
