Request: add ymacron and Ymacron

Open rchildree opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Texts in Latin (the language, not the script) occasionally use ȳ and more rarely Ȳ (e.g. dozens of times in the first book of Vergil's Aeneid.)

Latin is often printed without macrons, but introductory and learning materials almost always employ them.

Thank you. This will be part of a future extension to Adobe Latin-5: http://adobe-type-tools.github.io/adobe-latin-charsets/adobe-latin-5.html

@rchildree For the time being, you can use the sequences U+0079 U+0304 ȳ and U+0059 U+0304 Ȳ, which Unicode defines as canonically identical to the precomposed characters.
