@Assassas77: I think superscript n should be written using the Unicode character (ⁿ
) instead of using HTML (<sup>n</sup>
), following existing practices for writing Hokkien Peh-oe-ji. Suzukaze-c (talk) 21:06, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, thank you, I wasn't aware that a proper N subscript did exist in Unicode. I'll use it from now on. If you have additional tips, feel free to share: I would be glad to learn something new. Btw, I've seen your corrections on the definitions I submitted to the French Wiktionary for Minnan-Chaozhou, so I've got another reason to thank you ! I've had a hard time finding proper sources for Peng'Im examples.
- @Suzukaze-c:
- So, in contemporary Peng'Im, there is no « ng-vowel » like in « tng », it should be written « teng », am I right ?
- By the way, I started this work on this dictionary because it is the only Chaozhou dictionary I found in the public domain. Do you know any open chaozhou dictionary ?

- I believe so. (潮州音字典·近)
- There is also
- English-Chinese Vocabulary of the Vernacular Or Spoken Language of Swatow, and
- A Handbook of the Swatow Vernacular, which has a small dictionary in the end.
- I've already done partial digitization of some pages from both on a personal wiki but I can continue it here. Suzukaze-c (talk) 21:00, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- Oh I see. I've already a bookmark for that dictionary. I rather use Mogher because it loads faster ;)
- I've already printed a copy of "A Handbook of the Swatow Vernacular" for personal use. If you've already started a partial digitization of both, it would be nice to have it here so I can complete your work without doing a work on pages that have already been done.
- I was wondering : do you use a particular tool to input specials characters ? For the moment, I use a copy-paste from a notepad with all unicode n^ and o¨^ :)

- I've added all sorts of symbols and characters as custom words to the Japanese IME on my computer, so I can type

. There's probably a better way to do it using different software but I type in Japanese frequently enough that it's OK for me :P 20:55, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

- Hi, I've finally decided to find a better way than copypasting :) So I've tried to make a toolbar for those diacritics and subscript N. Here is the result : User:Assassas77/common.js. Feel free to copy-paste it to your own common.js to get this toolbar, if you need it. Assassas77 (talk) 04:10, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
