Pim Blokland scripsit: > For instance, the Danish ae (U+00E6) is not designated a ligature,
It was in Unicode 1.0; I think politics were involved in that one. In Latin use, ae is most certainly a ligature, and likewise in the languages (including English) that have borrowed words involving it. In Danish use, though, it is a separate letter. > but the > Dutch ij (U+0133) is, even though the "a" and "e" are clearly fused > together, while the "i" and "j" aren't. I have certainly seen "ij" glyphs that looked quite fused, more like "\xff", which is why that letter appears in 8859-1 but its capital equivalent does not. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all. There are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful. --_The Hobbit_
