I have seen two different typeforms used for U+028B: the one used in the charts has a slanted stroke on the left with an sharp corner at the bottom (let's call this the hook-v shape), and the other has a vertical stroke on the left with a rounded transition into the righthand stroke at the bottom (let's call this the hook-u shape). (Note: I am not aware of corresponding alternates in the upper case equivalent, U+01B2; for that, I'm only aware of a large counterpart to the hook-u shape, i.e. what is shown in the published Unicode charts).
Does anyone have any info on the distribution in usage of these two? I'm aware of the hook-u shape being used in some parts of West Africa; does anyone know if the hook-v shape is also used in Africa, or know that it is in fact used anywhere else? - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Constable Non-Roman Script Initiative, SIL International 7500 W.
