A friend of mine wants to modify an X keyboard layout so that he can input IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) characters in UTF-8. Modifying a layout isn't the problem--I modified the ru layout to something more mnemonic for a qwerty keyboard. The hexidecimal value for a given Unicode value we can lookup on the web. However, we are less certain about how to instruct X to use that hexidecimal value to display the character. For instance, a "hooked-h" (representing a breathy-voiced glottal fricative, if you care to know) has a hex value of 0266. How can we bind that to the "h" key? TIA, :Peter -- Oh what a tangled web they weave who try a new word to conceive! _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
