Hi. AFAICT, the 2nd character that the link template added to 🩣 is incorrect. It's 傌/㐷, not 傌/骂. [I assume that's a template error.]

For 🩬, the 炮 that the link added is incorrect. 炮 is specifically the red cannon. [Notice that the same template does not a symmetrical link from 🩥 to the black cannon.]

error in File:REJANG LETTER RA.svg

hi,

noto has the wrong glyph for 'ra', blindly copied from the Unicode chart. it's a duplicate of 'ja'. Unicode is fixing this, hopefully to be published this year. I'll fix here, just wanted to let you know why. btw, i think most fonts got this right kwami (talk) 21:44, 2 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Is it really a duplicate? After i compared both glyphs, there is a difference: letter Ja has a smaller hole than Ra, you can see the comparison here https://ibb.co/chCgfMC1 (I'm too lazy to upload it to Commons), also it was addressed before and already fixed in Noto https://github.com/notofonts/rejang/issues/4 .

that's an allograph of ja. if you compare the illustrations in the original unicode proposal, you'll see that none of them match the glyph on the unicode chart. it looks like unicode is going to prioritize this for u17 this year.

i didn't realize noto had already fixed this. we could just use the use the new noto form, then, but i've already spliced something together. kwami (talk) 04:36, 3 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
