Ive been trying to understand this stuff and was looking at eg.
lisp/language/indian.el
In there I find that:
(defconst bengali-composable-pattern
(let ((table
'(("a" . "\u0981") ; SIGN CANDRABINDU
("A" . "[\u0982-\u0983]") ; SIGN ANUSVARA .. VISARGA
("V" . "[\u0985-\u0994\u09E0-\u09E1]") ; independent vowel
("C" . "[\u0995-\u09B9\u09DC-\u09DF\u09F1]") ; consonant
("B" . "[\u09AC\u09AF-\u09B0\u09F0]") ; BA, YA, RA
("R" . "[\u09B0\u09F0]") ; RA
("n" . "\u09BC") ; NUKTA
("v" . "[\u09BE-\u09CC\u09D7\u09E2-\u09E3]") ; vowel sign
("H" . "\u09CD") ; HALANT
("T" . "\u09CE") ; KHANDA TA
("N" . "\u200C") ; ZWNJ
("J" . "\u200D") ; ZWJ
("X" . "[\u0980-\u09FF]")))) ; all coverage
etc etc
And repeated with small variations for devanagari, tamil, telugu etc
It would sure help a native speaker if the comment and the ucs-hex
were interchanged with the actual chars used instead.
So then I checked why the file was showing as UTF-8 encoded.
Found this one non-ASCII line:
(set-language-info-alist
"Kannada" '((charset unicode)
(coding-system mule-utf-8)
(coding-priority mule-utf-8)
(input-method . "kannada-itrans")
(sample-text . "Kannada (ಕನ್ನಡ) ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ")
(documentation . "\
Kannada language and script is supported in this language
environment."))
'("Indian"))
It strikes me that this sample text should be there for the other
languages also but it does not seem to be there
Just for context if I can understand whats going on, I would like to
help improve this/these docs:
(info "(elisp)input methods")
| How to define input methods is not yet documented in this manual,
but here we
| describe how to use them.
