Re: Unusual Isolated Form of Ang

Hi Badral,

Thanks for the reply.

> It looks like ANG isol, which is not used.

Yes, but evidently the isolate form is used in this source (a fairly
notable dictionary).

> There is also no init form of NGA. If I remember correct, init is not used except just one case, which is to notice the first sound of baby (NGAA) just after the birth. I tend to think, it could be simply ignored.

Except that my correspondent who asked me about it wants to represent
this table of letters in a catalogue of Mongolian books he is working
on.

I am still uncertain whether this is a font issue (i.e. a font could
show this as the default isolated form of ang rather than use the form
in the Unicode charts) or whether it is an encoding issue (i.e. this
should not be the default isolate form of ang in a Uniocde-compliant
font, in which case a VS for this isolate form should be defined).
