The <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_alphabet" REL="nofollow">language of my people</A> uses two latin characters to represent one letter too.<BR/><BR/>And Naijajams, thanks for the link, I assumed that some sort of driver would be provided with the keyboard in order to make it operate with Windows apps and the Characters/Fonts. Is that not the case?<BR/><BR/>The method you are describing sounds like a microsoft hack for people with regular keyboards to enter Yoruba characters, making the extra features on this keyboard redundant. <BR/><BR/>As a linux user I will probably have to get keyboard maps from <A HREF="http://www.wazobialinux.com/index.html" REL="nofollow">wazobia linux</A> to use this. It will take more than a fancy keyboard to move me from Debian.Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-1163455257277331162006-11-13T23:00:00.000+01:002006-11-13T23:00:00.000+01:00oh whao.. thats sooo cooloh whao.. thats sooo coolOverwhelmed Naija Babehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14417979387499678810[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-1163442570177418082006-11-13T19:29:00.000+01:002006-11-13T19:29:00.000+01:00I have this keyboard.

You also find unicode support in the popular word processors to be somewhat shaky and most of the popular typefaces to not have the complete unicode character. To make an (S.) I have to make an S & then use the . as a combining character. Microsoft Word has problems rendering this properly...<BR/><BR/>Here is the link to the actual site:<BR/>http://www.konyin.com/naijajamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07566641732152930266[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-1163437766542720102006-11-13T18:09:00.000+01:002006-11-13T18:09:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Marinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16923518079515531310[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-1163430391304943452006-11-13T16:06:00.000+01:002006-11-13T16:06:00.000+01:00ohh I would buy this sharpish..Considering that Yo...ohh I would buy this sharpish..<BR/><BR/>Considering that Yoruba is spoken in many countries and that the it's such a pain to try inserting symbols into names and documents.<BR/>this would be great!<BR/><BR/>I was actually thinking of this as a pet project for myself..
