Talk:Komi language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

JM, you replaced Unicode character values U+0456, U+04E6, U+04E7 with Latin i and Ö. That doesn't seem right. Shouldn't these be characters in the Cyrillic range?

Does anyone know about the Komi letters in the Cyrillic Supplementary range U+0500–U+050F? Do those belong to Abur?

Me thinks Wikipedia is badly served by letters that show up as "ӧ", but my fanatism about the Komi language is limited, why I think enough is enough after one attempt to fix this. ;-) No hard feelings. --Johan Magnus 15:29, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I don't understand. That shows up as a little "o" with two dots over it; isn't that correct? Please don't beat around the bush, but explain the problem. Your edit comment "IPA is for phonetic transcriptions" didn't give us any hints that there was a problem.

Is it a little square or question mark in your browser? Are you using MSIE/Windows? Did it look wrong before you removed Template:IPA from the page? —Michael Z. 2005-02-6 16:16 Z

The letter comes up correctly in my browser. Johan Magnus' problem is that he does not have enough glyphs in his font, so that The Komi Ӧ and ӧ will look like the latin Ö and ö for all with a good Cyrillic font, and like squares or whatever for the rest of you.

Another issue: The article should be merged with Komi Zyrian, and Komi language is the best name for the article. Trondtr.
