***Guide to the Characters***

[TacitBlue]

If the two dots is called a Diaeresis, then what is an umlat (oom-lot)... I know I must have spelled that wrong.

...Diaeresis is a version of chronic diarrhoea...

...which is a load of crap, really... ... ...!

LOL...!

Paul.

P.S. ....what about "oe" and "ae" joined together...?

eg: ae as in Aesops Fables...!

[Yurei]

yup. in german, for example, these can be used instead of the umlaute. ae =

Per Fozzer:
So how do you generate the characters "ae", "ue", and "oe", which overlap each other as in "Ae"sop's Fables....


Good Question. I've done it with a graphics program but that means generating it as a px, taking a lot of extra time. The name Alfred used to be 'Ae'lf(=Elf but now Alf in the name) 'raed'(=council); now it's gone the way of Aesop's fables.
Originally, one tried pronouncing both letters at the same time but the enunciation and the vocabulary went through major changes after 1066A.D. Did the pronunciation change cause the spelling change or, as seems more likely, the spelling change alter the pronunciation

[legoalex2000]

ok im finally updating to include those symbols your talking about.

thanks again!

Ramos

**edit** through my attempt of looking, i've been unable to fine 'ue'.

When I saw this topic I thought it was going to be about Paul Fozzer.

I see Cryllic and Far Eastern characters have been discriminated against.  Reparations!
