“encode the text that people will want to search for” is in fact a pretty good rule of thumb tho; if a spelling should be findable by searching the equivalent with basic latin letters, it should be encoded using them
re: typography
@akjcv@types.pl well, Icelandic has them different
Old Norse didn’t exactly have a standardized orthography and whether it distinguished Þ and Ð likely depends on both time period and scribe
and likewise, the fact that Old English equated the two doesn’t say anything about whether Modern English should or shouldn’t, or else we wouldn’t be using J or U either
@coriander i do think it's interesting because like Baldur’s Gate is clearly a roleplaying adventure and you can give the characters whatever sexuality you want because you’re roleplaying and that’s your prerogative, but Bioware games have always been much more about defined Characters and Plots and i don’t think it’s wrong for them to have specific sexual orientations be a part of that
but like, commit to it if you’re going to do it; they’re too chicken in 2024 to say “no, that’s not the story we’re telling here” to the person who bought the game
@coriander just hire some lesbians to tell you if the character is lesbian or not god it's not hard
