Hello Gatua, Hope all is well with you. Thanks for this info. Yes, I'm still in China.
On the title in your posting and e-mail (which I modified): despite the fact that many of us will have seen several sequences of 3 numbers preceded by &# and followed by ; there is reason to be encouraged. For those who don't know, these are the "Unicode decimal codes" for the i with ~ above and u with ~ above. In my browser, your Gikuyu page displays just fine. On my my.yahoo.com page, where I have RSS feeds of several lists including AfricanLanguages, the title of your posting shows just as you intended it to. This is gradual but an improvement over where we were not long ago. Still on Yahoogroups, there are problems, so there is still a ways to go. But since Yahoo is now a member of the Unicode consortium and there are some very good people working for it who are committed to adoption of Unicode, I hope we get to the point where all African languages can be displayed in whatever orthography/script on AfricanLanguages. All the best. Don --- In [email protected], "Gatua wa Mbugwa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Don, > Greetings. Are you still in China?
