Moved Multiocular O to Funky, enlarged it ×1.2. Now I just rehint Noto Latin/Greek/Cyrillic, that’s all.

🖼️ GRAPHIC EMOJI
Started Unicodia Emoji project. Right now its scope is extremely narrow: things that are TOO BAD at Google. And, of course, run ahead of Unicode. My test subject is 🪧 placard

Updated Noto: Arabic*, Bengali, Georgian, Glagolitic, Dogra, Limbu, Sinhala, Vithkuqi
Noto Sinhala: also replaced Light with Regular (other way of hinting?)
Did not update Telugu: notofonts/telugu#3

* Noto Arabic is fallback, my main Arabic is SIL Scheherazade

🤡 MISRENDERS
#137 🤘 U+1F918 rocker horns — again limitations of SVG engine

↕️ DATA — SORTING-RELATED
Changed block names in both languages. E.g. “Basic Latin” → “Latin basic (ASCII)”
Alchemical symbols: continent was erroneously set to International (should be Europe)
#139 Shorthand format: as they work with Duployan only, now set to Europe for consistent sorting

🐞 PROGRAM
✨ Other ways of sorting except code!! +one localized icon
🔎 Search by numeric value: 12, 1/4, 0.25, 0,25, 0/3. The latter finds baseball fraction ↉ only.
📐 Table size is computed more precisely, not just 45% of window
📐 Width of main combobox in expanded state is computed more precisely

🚩 Still 4195 CJK tofu, 244 rest

Permanent interface for language change in About
F12 still reloads language, a very good key
Found and localized one more string — “No such character”

Changed article “Brahmic abugida”. Maybe I’ll divide abugidas into types soon, and shorten articles.

🤡 MISRENDERS
02CE, CF lower grave/acute accent. No cool replacement for Cambria — taking Noto?
1D5D…6A — funked up when my Greek moved to Noto

🇷🇺 RUSSIAN
Oriya/Odia and a few more articles: added {{t|}} template
Znamenny — slightly changed

🐛 Two more interlocks in tofu statistics → hope it’ll close instantly

🚩 Still 4195 CJK tofu, 244 rest

1.3.2

🕒 UNICODE 15
Pulled new data, right now complete tofu except… see below
Marked U15 as beta
Fixed everything I’ve seen: collapsing, decapitalization, some descriptions
Range/medium: Egyptian hiero format controls
Range/medium: Kaktovik numerals
🚩 4195 CJK tofu, 244 rest

🤖 AUTOMATICALLY FIT to Unicode 15
#105 Lao: U+0ECE just happened to be in the font (how?)
Canadian syllabary: Noto knows more about Canadians than Unicode, so OK somehow
CJK main range: 5 chars changed, all OK
Khitan small: Andrew West knows more about Khitans than Unicode?
Wancho: was Noto’s work a script reform?

🖋️ FONTS
Replaced Noto Myanmar → SIL Padauk. Not the coolest but at least less buggy font, with nice weight
Updated BabelStone Han
🐛 Removed Noto Sans Egyptian TTF, Unicodia had been using OTF long before 1.0

🤡 MISRENDERS
CJK A — hiero 3C43 bad in SimSun, good in BabelStone
CJK B — hiero 20048, major diffs between versions, taking Babelstone (=sim Chinese)
CJK B — hieros 23F4E 26E30, SimSun shows traditional version → again BabelStone

🇬🇧 ENGLISH
1200/1370 now.

🐞 PROGRAM
🐛 Probably found an ultimate workaround for that combobox. But to find it, I had to make a custom skin 💄, understand bug’s roots 🌳, find solution 🏁 and then remove skin 🧼
Simple combobox pull-up detector. Now can safely press ↓↑ on pulled-up combobox, and focus will stay in place.

1.3.1

🖋️ FONTS
Gujarati — enlarged sample font

💾 OTHER DATA
0300 Combining marks — made description shorter and more international
0A00 Gurmukhi — wrote number of speakers
🤥 Oriya — inherent vowel is open o
13A0 Cherokee — wrote number of speakers, the language is REALLY endangered.
🤥 1F00 Greek ex — varia meaning
🤥 2C60 Latin ex C — lost sources, but found two other languages from Papua that are definitely there
🤥 4E00 Han — Monday in Japanese is getsuyōbi
🤥 A840 Phags-Pa — status historical → sacred
A980 Javanese — wrote one sentence
🤥 101D0 Phaistos Disc — NOT by descent of frequency
🤥 104B0 Osage — family, not group (+more info)
11000 Brahmi — not really a lie, but a few clarifications. E.g. Tamil comes from Grantha!
12F90 Cypro-Minoan — custom comment “first known inscriptions” replaced with standard “first known inscription”.
🤥 18B00 Khitan — copper → bronze
🤥 Term “syllabic” — Egyptian turned to consonant rather than syllabic!
Term “inclusion” — shortened
Term “private use character” — killed Doom, it worked in single-byte encoding
Term “unification” — removed a sentence, Arabic and Urdu use the same LETTERS

🌐 INTERNATIONALIZATION
#133 CJK expand/collapse did not translate until you actually expand/collapse
#131 Correct sorting of terms in all languages
Sorted script categories; intentionally unsorted are only input and serialization
Found and internationalized untranslated “Copied” text

🇷🇺 RUSSIAN
In term sorting put English after Russian somehow
Finally got rid of <p> tag
Byte order mark — strange typo (& instead of *)
3000 CJK punctuation — found comma w/o space (ordinary consequence of hardcoding text using programming language)
Armenian — script, not language was invented

🇬🇧 ENGLISH
Keeping on translating, now >1050/1350
Lots of typos
(still F11 to change language, F12 to reload L10n)
Sorry, using bad backup keyboard right now, main mechanical is under repair — so lots of new typos

(Wanted to update Myanmar, but that Corbett kicked up a few bugs)

🤡 MISRENDERS
𝒜𝓁𝓁 known misrenders, including characters changed in Unicode 14/15
#129 Because of multiple misrenders and not really cool styles, basic Greek is shown with Noto, advanced stays with DejaVu. Current Noto has a small Greek glitch, but as Greek is widespread, I think it’s acceptable.
#44 Various Egyptian hieroglyphs; added 2nd font — NewGardiner
#122 Sundanese 1BBF
#121 Orkhon 10C47

🖼️ GRAPHIC EMOJI
🦢 1F9A2 swan is now white but heavily outlined

Again plain sight. Three control chars: LF, FF, CR
Checked all Greek letters. They are capital UNLESS the character is small and no “small” word
Rounded symbol for Fu etc
Musical symbol Combining flag-1 etc

Minor typo in Emoji
Typo in Opening/closing bracket
Text changes related to misrenders

🇬🇧 ENGLISH
F11 will switch languages between Russian and unfinished English
F12 will reload current language (except locale.xml, it’s loaded on startup)

🐞 PROGRAM
Tested Qt 6.2, though stayed on 6.1.3 due to faster startup
🐛 [since 1.2.13] Znamenny and Duployan were erroneously marked as right-to-left due to clash of constants

1.2.16

Upd Dives Akuru, Lepcha

💾 OTHER DATA
🤥 More precise info on Caucasian Albanian
Devanagari: added a warning
Changed description of ignorable char a bit
Added W10 emoji panel: what a shame I did not know it…

🇷🇺 RUSSIAN
🤥 Several Indic scripts: ssa in Russian is «ша»!
Scripts are feminine by default; if established name is neuter, “письмо” is added. Blocks are left intact: masculine if such language is present, neuter if established name, feminine otherwise
Found very deep an obsolete name for non-character — “отсутствующий символ”. Currently we use “выброшенная позиция”.

🌐 INTERNATIONALIZATION
Scripts
A few small tables
Almost all misc strings
Added ENTER ENTER to wiki engine (easier in visual editing) instead of HTML <p> (better in source code)

🐞 PROGRAM
Native Qt localization (better seen in local menus) did not work

1.2.15 → 1.2.16
Coptic: clarified a bit (should have been in 1.2.15 but did not commit)

1.2.14

🖋️ FONTS
Replaced Tibetan with BabelStone, #98 is now honestly closed, not gagged. Thank you, Andrew West!
Upd Dives Akuru, Manichaean, Pahawh Hmong
Rehinted with TtfAutoHint instead of FontForge: Dives Akuru, Pahawh Hmong. Those fragile tables are surely not touched, so the fonts are more functional.

🔡 DECAPITALIZATION

Combining Cyrillic Millions sign etc
Cyrillic capital letter Abkhasian Ha. Also Aleut, Cyrillic, Komi, Ukrainian

Tibetan: removed font note as BS Tibetan is the best font freely available, and now it is in Unicodia!
Tibetan: hand-created icon
Technical changes in description: Brahmi

#120 Chinese hiero 22ACF (U15 fixup)
#98 Two banned chars in Tibetan (gagged a font bug)
Zanabazar square: unhinted virama
Arabic is marked as RTL, so umlauts in table and sample box look same

Remaining severe misrenders:

• #121 Orkhon rune 10C47 (U15 fixup)
• #122 Sundanese 21st century letter 1BBF (U15 fixup)
