How can you put the set of bits meaning one character "in" the set of bits meaning another character? One must come first!
This game I was playing had "handwriting order". To input the first kana of my name "juuitchan", I had to type shi and then dakuten.
I don't have my book but with Unicode I put the dakuten and then the shi, right?
rarararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararara
Like this:
With a brush: shi, THEN dakuten
With Unicode decomposed: dakuten, THEN shi
With Unicode composed: ji
Or your letter:
With a pen (NOT a brush! Romaji wrecks brushes; I've tried it): e, THEN circumflex
With Unicode decomposed: circumflex, THEN e
With Unicode composed: e with circumflex (there is an e with circumflex that is 1 character)
The point, Mr. Maheu, is that there are two ways to get what you want.
Unicoders, did I say it right?
