RE: New Thread - FVS Assignment MisMatch

Dear Mr. Richard,

I have missed the further communication on following point what you have mentioned.

Do you mean, we don᠌'t need to follow the Mongolian Character display form which is selected in the Unicode chart U1800.pdf 
as the default isolate form of the character ?

I think the default isolate form have to be same with the Unicode chart for distinguishing the character using the isolation process to show their original display form.

Because of this I am puzzled for how to handle the U1824 and U1826 isolate form.
The New Proposal on the  http://r12a.github.io/scripts/mongolian/variants showed us to select the Initial form of the character in real word to be the isolate form.
But all of the implementation is not selected the form which is shown on the Unicode chart.

Yes it is true we provided the initial form to UTC for easily pass the UTC rule for encoding code point character have to be in different form. 

But when we teach the pupils, we will face the why the isolate form of the character displaying on computer which is not the isolate form.
Maybe it is not a big problem itself, when I prepare the other character variant selection, I find it and need to confirm it with you because you have mentioned it in last mail.

Thanks and Best Regards,

If you mean you will make a choice consistent with standardised variants, that is fine.  If you mean the isolated form will necessarily be the one that is shown in the code chart, that is wrong.

Is that true?  There may be more than two spellings that look the same, but do they *sound* the same?  As I understand it, the Mongolian encoding represents sounds as well as appearance.  Are Mongolian dictionaries sorted according to sound or according to visual form?

It is a shame that the explanation is missing.  I'm still trying to understand the shaping rules, but I think the variation selectors are most organised as you suggest.

The adjustments should only be minor.  There may be ways to make what looks like a big difference into a small difference.
Otherwise, the Mongolian encoding seems to have failed.
