I'm currently typesetting a book written in Jarai (var. Jrai, J'rai), a
tribal language used in the highlands of Vietnam; besides using characters
already accounted for in the Vietnamese script, the written Jarai language
uses several characters that are, to my knowledge, unique to it (and a small
group of other tribal languages from this area). Among these are a, e, i,
u, and o accented with both a circumflex and a breve (circumflex under
breve), b with a stroke, breved, horned o, breved, horned u, and
circumflexed, horned u (all in both lower- and upper-case variants).
I think that these characters fit the guidelines to be included in the
Unicode standard, but, then again, I'm fairly new to the Unicode world, and
could be horribly mistaken. Any advice, and most thoughts, would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
