There's another problem. No Latin equivalents are listed for the Cyrillic letters Ц ц Ъ ъ Ь ь Э э Ю ю Я я, in either the old charts with apostrophes or the new chart with acutes. These are code points 0426, 042A, 042C, 042D, 042E, and 042F and corresponding lowercase. All of these letters, in lowercase or both, are used in the Kazakh translation of the UDHR currently available from the "UDHR in Unicode" project. So either the UDHR translation is wildly incorrect, which seems unlikely, or the transliteration tables are incomplete. Wikipedia shows digraphs Iý ıý for Ю ю, and Ia ıa for Я я, and nothing for the others, though it is not clear where the digraphs came from, and of course the usual Wikipedia caveats apply. -- Doug Ewell | Thornton, CO, US | ewellic.org
