RE: U+180A Nirugu

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for that helpful information. I know that the U+180A Nirugu does not function correctly in the final position - at least. I have tried to implement the Nirugu Final in the past and failed. So, it would seem that possibly the punctuation feature is at least one of the culprits of the malfunctioning. I will try to test out the U+1807 also and report back.

From a Unicode perspective anything that is encoded is a "character", so obviously Nirugu and Sibe syllable boundary marker are by definition both characters.  I guess what you mean is that they both act as letters.  However, as both these characters have a Unicode general property of "Po" (Punctuation, other), there may be a problem with treating them as letters, with positional forms and FVS variants
-- I don't know if there is a problem, but am just flagging this as a potential issue to be taken into consideration.
