Hi Jamie and Mesar,
Sure - I'll file a ticket on this one on handling compound
characters, which would be useful for proofreading words and
chars in some languages where compound characters are used.
Thanks.
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
I think there are several other languages which have compound
characters as well, such as Tamil. Normally, a single character
is
only represented by one Unicode character. However, in Tamil, a
compound character, even though it only looks like one character
visually, is actually represented by multiple Unicode
characters.
I'm not sure if this is how Unicode handles all such languages.
Confirmed with indian languages, arabic and possibly Hebrew.
The other question is what to do when a user presses speak
current
word (numpad5) thrice, which spells the word with character
descriptions. Do we split the compound characters there as
well?
I think splitting in that case would be good too.
I would file a ticket for this, at least for Korean. We can
then
determine from this email thread whether other languages will
benefit.
