The strident diacritic is U+1DFD COMBINING ALMOST EQUAL TO BELOW. L2/07-334R explains: COMBINING ALMOST EQUAL TO BELOW could possibly be considered COMBINING TILDE BELOW + COMBINING TILDE BELOW. However, COMBINING ALMOST EQUAL TO BELOW is one character representing strident vowels. It does not represent creaky voiced which is what tilde below represents in the IPA. COMBINING ALMOST EQUAL TO ABOVE exists in Unicode and we believe the COMBINING ALMOST EQUAL TO BELOW should be added for linguistic usage as well. _______________________________________________ Unicode mailing list [email protected] http://unicode.org/mailman/listinfo/unicode
