You ever heard of the Ormulum?! Written by this dude named Orm?! Well they encoded four new combining marks for it.

In case Latin Extended-F didn’t satisfy you, there’s also Latin Extended-G! What’s in Latin Extended-G?! You guessed it, more IPA‐related characters.

More North American Syllabic characters, primarily to support the Nattilik language in Western Nunavut

a bunch of historical scripts, plus:

• Toto, a very new script (2015!) for writing the Toto language (previously, Toto was written in the Bengali script).

• Vithkuqi, an older script for writing Albanian, which fell out of use because the guy who invented it died. It is now being revived! Most of the contemporary evidence provided in the proposal comes in the form of tattoos.

• Tangsa, a new script which has been under development since 1990 for writing the Tangsa languages.

The entire Latin Extended-F block (U+10780..U+107BF), which contains extended IPA characters and characters for VoQS. Mostly it’s a bunch of modifier letter (subscript) versions of existing IPA symbols.

🆗🆗 here we go

i’ve got a thing to finish up rn but i’ll take a look at recent additions / etc after i’m done

well, geez, Unicode, just quietly drop version 14.0 when i’m not paying attention, why don’t you

you may not think this is an important issue, and the first post might be a bit misleading (since i would much rather have a locale-independent solution than a locale-dependent one), but personally i think it is VERY important

hey eugen stop programming Mastodon for iOS for a second and fix my very important issue https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/16727
