查看 Flex 中關於 02BC 的說明,我們讀到以下內容:
02BC 修飾字母撇號(MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE)在 Unicode 標準中被定義為構成詞的字符,因此其使用是適當的 ,......
如果您已經有特殊的鍵盤,添加 02BC 可能不會太難。否則,請使用 0027 撇號(APOSTROPHE)。這沒有圓潤的外觀 ,但在所有字體中均可用,且輸入它不需要任何特殊操作。
在我們選擇 02BC 時,正是這種圓潤的外觀,使得 02BC 相對於 0027 佔了上風。我們希望印刷的聖經(以及應用程式)具有手寫卷曲型撇號。如果 Charis 有替代的卷曲字形,我們可以回到 0027,但這也需要全面更改 Keyman 檔案。(我猜測至少在西非,02BC 用於省略已成為常見做法)。 查看 0027 的字形集,沒有「醜陋」的 ' 的替代字形 ... 查看下方 Charis 7.0 文件的圖片,撇號的實現方式似乎有所變化(儘管我無法在文件中找到相關提及)
如果我比較 Charis SIL 6.2 和 Charis 7.0,似乎沒有差異:
我們的讀者已經習慣了卷曲撇號,因此 0027 仍然不是一個選項。我認為目前的選擇是:1:暫時回到 Paratext 9.4。2:在字符清單中驗證所有 [C]+02BC 組合。 問題仍然存在:從 9.4 到 9.5 的變化是否影響帶有字中 02BC 的單詞到 Flex 的橋接功能。
Looking at the help in Flex concerning 02BC, we read the following:
02BC MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE is defined as word-forming in the Unicode Standard so its use would be appropriate, .....
If you already have a special keyboard, adding 02BC probably would not be too hard. Otherwise, use 0027 APOSTROPHE. This does not have the rounded appearance , but it is available in all fonts and does not require anything special to enter it.
At the time we made the choice for 02BC, it was exactly the rounded appearance, which "tipped the balance" in favour for 02BC as compared to 0027. We wanted the printed Scriptures (as well as the app) have the hand-written curly-type apostrophe. We could go back to 0027, if Charis has an alternative curly glyph, but it would also require changing keyman files across the board. (My guess is at least for all West Africa, where the use of 02BC for elision, has become common practice). Looking at the Glyph set of 0027, there is no alternative glyph for the "ugly" ' ... Looking at the image below of the Charis 7.0 documentation there seems to have been a change in the way the apostrophe is now implemented (although I cannot find a mention of it in the documentation)
If I compare Charis SIL 6.2 with Charis 7.0 there does not seem te be a difference:
Our readers have become used to the curly apostrophe, therefore 0027 is (still) not an option. I think for the time being the choices are 1: go back to Paratext 9.4 for the time being. 2: validate all combinations of [C]+02BC in the character inventory. The questions remains whether the change from 9.4 to 9.5 affects the bridge function to Flex for words with a medial 02BC.
