ISSUE-391 (yid): Yiddish in captions/subtitles [TTML IMSC 1.0] http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/TT/tracker/issues/391 Raised by: Pierre-Anthony Lemieux On product: TTML IMSC 1.0 >From https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tt/2015Jun/0001.html > he (Hebrew) > U+05B0 – U+05C3 > U+05D0 – U+05EA > U+05F3 – U+05F4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_and_HTML_for_the_Hebrew_alphabet Why are 05F0-05F2 excluded? (They're Yiddish, but is there a reason to discriminate against Yiddish? Yiddish theater is real) And, why would you exclude 059x, 05Ax, 05C4-05C7? A perfectly reasonable thing to do w/ captions would be to caption someone chanting from the Torah, or chanting a Haftarah which means you'd need almost all of these (? is included in the text, but I suppose you could argue for dropping from captions, I'd personally include it, since omitting it would take more effort).
