	Nabadwip Diacritic Fonts Info
		This is a diacritic 'Type 1 Font' for the Mac, also for the PC, please see below.) It is based on 'Times' and includes all characters currently used by us in the transliteration of Sanskrit and Bengali into Roman script.
		All the diacritic characters function as letters, thus allowing all the normal functions of selecting whole words, sentences, etc.; and searches, etc., as well as allowing the compilation of diacritic dictionaries in Microsoft Word and some other programmes.
		In the "Centenary" family are three separate TrueType files: one for Centenary Plain (28K), one for Centenary Bold (25K), and one for Centenary Italic (27K).

	Umlaut (diacritic) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The umlaut mark should properly be differentiated from the similar diacritic called trema, since in professional typography umlaut dots are usually a bit closer to the letter's body than the dots of the trema.
		The trema or diaeresis is the similar diacritic ( ¨ ), used to indicate diaeresis, or, more generally, that a vowel should be pronounced apart from the letter which precedes it.
		The use of the diacritic in these languages does not usually relate to instances the historical phenomenon of Germanic umlaut, but it often indicates sounds similar to those for which it is used German.

	Diacritic : search word
		Also, many marks considered diacritical in one language are parts of a unique letter in another, for example the diaeresis/umlaut.
		In Hanyu Pinyin, the four tones of Mandarin Chinese are denoted by the macron, acute, hacek and grave diacritics.
		Diacritics can be used for emphasis (''érg koud'' for very cold) or for disambiguation between the numeral one (''één appel'', one apple) and the indefinite article (''een appel'', an apple).

	Greek /h/
		There are ten diacritics: the acute ΄, the grave `, the circumflex ῀, the macron –, the breve ˘, the rough ҅, the smooth ҆, the apostrophe ’, the hyphen ‿, the hypodiastole ˒.
		Tempting though it is, the conflation of the diacritics and the letters is not possible within Unicode: the distinction between diacritic and letter is a normative property, and Unicode codepoints may not blur that distinction.
		Diacritics do not have case (the one attempt to do so in Unicode involved adscripts, and I believe shouldn't have); so we would have to unify only uppercase tack heta with dasia (as a titlecase letter), and leave lowercase heta as a separate codepoint.

	Wells: Orthographic diacritics
		Diacritics— marks above, through, or below letters — are used in many orthographies to remedy the shortcomings of the ordinary Latin alphabet.
		In this article we discuss the various diacritics that are so used and the problems this has given rise to in a multilingual computing environment — problems now arguably on the way to a satisfactory solution through the adoption of the international standard known as Unicode.
		For example, in Bamgboṣe 1966 the diacritic is printed as a dot in the serif font of the main text, but as a vertical line in the sans serif font of the examples.

		DIACRITICS IN Diacritics are seldom used in English.
		Where a diacritic creates a new letter this can affect the sort order, but where it just functions as a stress marker it may not affect the sort order e.g.

	Rule 18
		Except at the beginning of a word, the diacritic hyphen (25) must be used before each unstressed syllable to represent the hyphen, centered dot, or blank space shown between the syllables in the print text.
		(b) The diacritic hyphen must be brailled unspaced from the letter or symbol that precedes or follows it except where a space is shown in print before partial pronunciation.
		(d) When a diacritic mark other than a stress sign or a special letter is shown standing alone in the print text, e.g., the macron, breves, or circumflex, in braille the name of the mark must be substituted for the print sign.

	Discussion Paper 2004-DP03: Changing the Mapping for the Double-Wide Diacritics from MARC8 to Unicode/UCS from the ...
		This discussion paper gives a number of reasons why the use of the single double-wide diacritics may be preferable to using the two half diacritic characters, and suggests that the MARC 21 community change the official encoding in Unicode/UCS to the double-wide diacritics.
		If the half diacritic characters are to be allowed in interchange when the sequences are defective, the the mapping would need to indicate that both encodings are supported.
		The Unicode/UCS half diacritic characters should be exchanged or downloaded only when a sequence with half diacritic characters cannot be converted to a sequence with double-wide diacritic characters (i.e., when it is an defective sequence that the sender is unable to correct), if allowed in the mapping.

		The double-wide diacritics are used for the following languages: the double tilde was once used in the Tagalog language written in Latin script, and the ligature is used in the ALA-LC Romanization of Russian, Belorussian, Bulgarian, Russian, Ukrainian, and Church Slavic, as well as various Non-Slavic languages written in Cyrillic script.
		With the double diacritic the mail issue may be assuring that it is entered after the correct character in the pair.
		One alternative to the use of the double diacritic character may be to change the transliteration tables to use a grave accent on the second of the two characters “pointing back to the first character”.

	LINGUIST List 2.296: Character Coding (Part 2) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		If we define base and diacritic elements as our characters, allowing their arbitrary juxtaposition is no different from allowing the arbitrary juxtaposition of any two base characters.
		Creating a new base+diacritic combination in a separable diacritic system isn't creating a new machine character because the combination is no more a character than a sequence of two bases.
		Opponents of separable diacritics, largely computer scientists with no experience in uncommon or poorly codified writing systems, do not care whether the repertoire is adequate for scholars, as long as it is adequate for businessmen using modern languages.

	How are Diacritic Letters Represented (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In Turkish, letters containing diacritic markings, (e.g., ß, ö) are considered separate letters, yet are visually highly similar to their non-diacritic analogs (s, o).
		Four experiments used the phenomenon of RB to investigate whether diacritic letters are represented as more similar to their non-diacritic analogs than are two unrelated letters.
		The amount of RB for words differing by a single diacritic (ißim isim) was comparable to identical repeated words (isim isim), and was less than words differing by a visually unrelated letter (ißim ilim).

		To represent the zero vowel in the second character, we'll borrow a diacritic marker from Hebrew which is used to notate the absence of a vowel.
		The nice thing about a system of diacritic symbols like this one is that variant pronunciations would be less able to break the standardized orthography into separate versions which might eventually become separate languages like French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian did despite the long tradition of writing in Latin.
		With the addition of similar diacritic marks to indicate vowel quality, vocalic R, L, and N, silent E and H, accent, and a few others, we could render any English name or word completely phonetic.

		While Arial Unicode MS is the most comprehensive Unicode font and contains all the necessary diacritic characters necessary for Asian Studies, the Arial family of fonts is in general less aesthetically appealing then some of the other font family.
