| | Wells: Orthographic diacritics |
 | | 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. | | | We are moving from a time in which a diacritic was a problem to a time in which all things are possible. |

| | The use of proprietary fonts for such diacritic marks is not optimal, since there are several of these fonts and no easy way to convert from one to another. | | | THDL has created with the Institute of Advanced Technology in the Humanities a Visual Basic program to input these Unicode diacritic characters in an easy to use fashion within Microsoft Word 2000 for Windows. | | | The obvious solution to this problem is the use of Unicode fonts, which utilize a world wide standard for the encoding of these diacritic marks, such that all Unicode fonts are completely interchangeable. |

| | Discussion Paper 2004-DP03: Changing the Mapping for the Double-Wide Diacritics from MARC8 to Unicode/UCS from the ... |
| | The double-wide diacritic characters have been input and rendered in various ways over the years depending on the devices available. | | | Most typewriters used the half diacritic character technique for input, over- striking the individual base letters, and many supported only monospaced fonts for rendering, although proportional spacing fonts were possible on some devices. | | | The double-wide diacritic characters are more likely to be supported in an author's word-processing software than the half diacritic characters. |

| | LINGUIST List 2.296: Character Coding (Part 2) |
| | 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. | | | In neither case can a new base, diacritic, or precomposed base+diacritic be added arbitrarily by a user as a machine character. | | | First, an "open" repertoire, as defined above, is also fixed, in that there is a finite number of machine characters. |

| | Greek Diacritics |
| | The Unicode policy with diacritics in general is that they are encoded by shape, not by semantics or by language. | | | Diacritics are always meant to follow what they modify; a case insensitive search for ἄδμητος should match Ἄδμητος in a fuss-free way, and post-modifying diacritics allow this; premodifying diacritics—especially when as far as Unicode is concerned they aren't even diacritics, but symbols ( | | | But of course, the combination is not a unique diacritic; it is a transparent combination of two. |

| | Character design standards - Diacritics |
| | These typesetting systems used uppercase and lowercase diacritics that were on zero units with programmed logic for combining diacritics and base glyphs to make accent characters. | | | In some type manufacturer's proprietary font formats there were algorithms to create composite accented characters. | | | This is considered a starting point and visual adjustment is made dependent on the design. |
