Probably many Japanese would intuitively know how to pronounce vowels with voiced sound mark and variations of prolonged sound mark. The voiced sound mark makes the vowel muddy or distorted. Variations of prolonged sound mark controls vibration of the prolonged sound, expressing emotions. I do not know how to pronounce non-vowels with voiced sound mark. I believe it would also make the sound distorted, probably by narrowing the throat? somebody? At this point, what I want to do is to just collect cases where we do not have enough support, before discussing possible solutions. Unicode can encode the non-standard use of the voiced sound mark even today as there is a combining version of the character. Fonts do not have have pre-composed and optimized version of the glyphs unlike standard use of the voiced sound mark however. Input methods also do not support them. On the other hand there is no good way of encoding variations of prolonged sound mark. The font I mentioned uses gaiji or private use area code points to support them. -- GitHub Notification of comment by kidayasuo Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/jlreq/issues/290#issuecomment-891850606 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
