Re: Creating a New locale

[Roozbeh Pournader <roozbeh gmail com>]

The use of U+0331 or U+0332 should not depend on support in different
applications, but on the actual orthography of the language. According
to the Unicode standard, U+0331 is a bit shorter, while U+0332 is
longer and connects on left and right.

So the question to ask is: In printed material, if you put two of
those underlined characters next to each other, should the underlines
connect to each other and form one line, or should they be display as
disconnected. If connected is the preferred way, U+0332 it is. If
disconnected is the preferred way, U+0331 it is.

Feel free to contact me in case of other character doubts.
