latin-ext: Add Hawaiian language support #1215
Comments
Sure

Uzbek (its latest Latin orthography that is now the official one in Uzbekistan) also needs U+02BB and U+02BC. I've added them to the 'latin' set. |
It would be really useful if the 0x02BB ʻ - the "turned comma" character was added to the Google fonts. Hawaiian is one of two official languages in the State of Hawaii but without support for both the macron (e.g., U+0101 "Latin small letter a with macron") and the okina (0x02BB ʻ - the "turned comma") a non-compliant font simply can't be used to create any official state documents. Perhaps it's my type-tech ignorance showing but I think that in most cases, the normal opening single quote glyph could be used without modification, just copied into the correct table position – a quick and easy modification that would produce huge benefits for those of us in Hawaii. |
Someone in Hawaiʻi wrote to me and noted that 0x02BB
ʻ
- the "turned comma" spacing modifier letter, or ʻokina, used in the word Hawaiʻi - is not available in our latin-ext subsets.We should include it in latin-ext :)
