Is ITRANS comprehensive, for example? As per the discussion on hi-wp village pump, the following words use औं: औंधा औंगारी सूर्य मंदिर [1] औंराडीह गाँव, गुरुआ (गया) [2] औंकोलोजी (oncology) Clearly, औं is also used in hindi, and the submitted patch[3] won't solve the problem. Also, AUM won't solve the problem either, since that is for आऊं which in itself is a popular (mis)spelling of the word आऊँ and can be used to write the word आऊंगा (correct spelling आऊँगा). Although I want to have an easy input method for inputting ॐ, I am wondering how much it is actually used in regular text, and if a direct input for it is needed (or it can be handled in the editing tools shown below the edit-window). I'll be asking the same at hi-wp discussion [4]. Shantanoo, is it used regularly in Marathi or rarely?

Shantanoo, is it used > regularly in Marathi or rarely? It is used rarely. IMO, putting in editing tools should be fine. But, I am not sure regarding how one can use it for the 'search box'. There is not edit toolbox for entering text in search box. How about pre and post fixing '_' (or any other combination with pre and/or post fixing) to have rarely used characters (but important)? e.g. _aum_ or _#aum or __aum or aum## or (aum) or any other combination. or as suggested on hiwiki, '_M' will be 'ं' and should not be combined with other sequence. (Instead of '_' some other character may be used. _italics_ ) This can be extended to 'अे' (a_e), 'अै' (a_ai). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
