<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m compiling a list of special characters and diacritics used in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages. I made a list for a font designer friend a few years ago, when he was designing the AusPost font and wanted to make sure
Indigenous languages were supported. He’s now invited me to write a guide for other font designers, so I would like to make sure I’m not forgetting anything.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is the list I have so far. I know there are more characters used in historical sources, and phonetic characters in publications by linguists, but I’m more interested in what communities have decided on and are using.</p>
