African Reference Alphabet: Difference between revisions

The English version was a set of 57 letters, given in both upper-case and lower-case forms. Eight of these are formed from common Latin letters with the addition of an [[macron below|underline mark]]. Some (the uppercase letters alpha, eth ([[Image:Latin capital letter african Eth.svg|x12px]]), esh, and both lower- and upper-case [[ImageFile:LATINLatin CAPITALcapital LETTERletter Z WITHwith TOPHOOKtophook.svg|20px]], [[ImageFile:LATINLatin SMALLsmall LETTERletter Z WITHwith TOPHOOKtophook.svg|20px]]) cannot be accurately represented in [[Unicode]] (as of version 15, 2023). Others do not correspond to the upper- and lower-case identities in Unicode, or (e.g. Ʒ) require [[character variant]]s in the font.<ref name=Niamey1978>{{cite web |publisher=www.bisharat.net |title=Presentation of the "African Reference Alphabet" (in 4 images) from the Niamey 1978 meeting|url=http://www.bisharat.net/Documents/Niamey78annex.htm |access-date=2013-05-10 |language=en}}</ref>
