See my page of examples. Can you elaborate on this? Especially it is important to know in your opinion which sentence of fantasai's is incorrect. I can verify that "We want this tone mark positioning behavior in all contexts, right? Not just when Bopomofo is used with Ruby." is correct. As an example for Taiwanese folks, you should have seen 很ㄅ一ㄤˋ的 , where ㄅ一ㄤˋ is stacked vertically in a night market or somewhere. And no, ㄅ一ㄤˋ is not ruby. It is not associated with any other character. Other Taiwanese folks, can you verify this? (By the way, you are always encouraged to discuss this within the mailing list of W3C HTML5 Chinese Interest Group[2]). > And note, btw, that the tone marks are NOT combining characters in > Unicode, but will need to be placed by the layout mechanism. (Just > trying to head off a repetition of the typical suggestion that is made > wrt tone positioning.) I'd rather we don't go into details before use cases are clarified. But I do have a different solution.
