Hi Amit, Can you please give the unicode values to write the assamese counterparts for these characters? Also, I'd really appreciate an updated key summary (thanks for the original key summary) for the new addidions in as-inscript keymap. Thanks, Mayank
mayank, these characters are not single code points and hence they are not in unicode charts. these characters are frequently occuring conjuncts. the unicode for them are : character for % U+099C U+09CD U+099E character for ^ U+09A4 U+09CD U+09F0 character for & U+0995 U+09CD U+09B7 character for * U+09B6 U+09CD U+09F0 I would like to emphasise that since these characters appear in the original Inscript layout, they *should not* be removed from the Assamese keyboard layout. These are som special characters and hence should be preserved in the keyboard layout as was in the original form.
There are also two characters that were present in # and $. These were the combinations of U+09CD U+09F0 for # and U+09F0 U+09CD for $. These characters are also removed. These two are the much needed 'ref' forms and hence I would also request them to be included. For details regarding the shapes of these characters, please refer to the url i mentioned earlier while reporting this bug.
Amit, Can you please also attach the updated key summary? Thanks, Mayank
Created attachment 140231 [details] Fixed as-inscript.mim file Thanks Amit for all the hard work :) -- attached fixed as-inscript.mim on behalf of Amit
The original Inscript Layout as given by tdil.mit.gov.in, has some appropriate "Glyphs" that were assigned to "#" and "$" (See comment #3). But the present Inscript layout doesn't have them. The patch that has been submitted also doesn't contain these glyphs, instead I have typed the character combinations for them. I would therefore like to know if the original Inscript layout is available so that the glyphs can be put at the appropriate places. The Unicode combinations for these character combinations are mentioned in comment #3. Is it possible to get the older version of the Inscript layout before the modifications were made?
i tried adding the unicode combinations in the as-inscript.mim file and then doing a scim restart and then gdm-restart. but after that, when i try to get the scim activated and then select as-inscript, scim crashes.i have to replace the combinations, do a restart for scim and gdm, then as-inscript works well.
