encodings (was Re: [Lexicog] sounds animals make)

[Hayim Sheynin]

Dear Bill,

 

I saw your message on lexicography list. I have some difficulties to

find possibility for making certain phonetic symbols like those

which require a dot under the character, particularly a dot under letters

h, s, t for heth, sade, and teth in Hebrew and similar sounds in other

Semitic languages and little arc under h for the sound which some time

transcribed as kh, like in Arabic khinzîr (‘pig’). I have Unicode based

Windows and Word. Can you help me.

For an encoding, I suggest Unicode. It includes the IPA

symbols, most other variants on the Roman alphabet, and

almost everything else, and software and fonts for it are

available for all major operating systems. Furthermore,

it allows any mixture of writing systems within the same

encoding.
