WWW ABIA Index Font Help

If you see too many little square boxes instead of characters, then you should activate or install & activate a Unicode-compliant font. For more information about Unicode (and Unicode supporting products including fonts) visit http://www.unicode.org. We mention two available TTF-fonts: the 'Arial Unicode font from Microsoft' and the 'TITUS Cyberbit Basic' font from the TITUS Languages Project in Germany. (Search the quoted words with a search engine to find any download links for these fonts). Remember to change the font settings of your browser as well after installing one of these fonts. If you see a code like \01\08\\12a instead of an acute accent above overline above small-letter-a with dot below, then you are looking at the ABIA code for a complex character. The reason for presenting the ABIA accent code is that we prefer not to omit this information if such a special character cannot be displayed on a HTML-page. Still, if these codes bother you too much, you may consider to choose 'no diacritics' at the 'Show diacritcs' option in the main search screen. Each special ABIA code for an accent/special character code consists of one or more backslashes and 2 digits. As for the digits' range: the accents start at 01. The special characters and ligatures start at 80. A complete overview of the ABIA codes is here THREE EASY RULES APPLY TO THE ABIA ACCENT CODES: all accents around every possible main Latin letter (A-Z and other letter variants) PRECEDE this main character the internal reading order of accent codes goes from UTMOST TOP TO CENTRE and then on from UTMOST BOTTOM TO CENTRE = (first series: one backslash + digit + digit) & (second series: three backslashes + digit + digit) & (third series: two backslashes + digit + digit) the place of a double wide accents is BETWEEN the two main characters But take note that in some romanized Vietnamese records the accent code order reflects the LEFT TO RIGHT order if two or more accents are at the same height. This method is to be discontinued and this material will be revised in the future. HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES: \01\08a = accent aigue above macron above lowercase-a \01\\08a = accent aigue above lowercase-a with macron below \07\08\\12\\08U = tilde above macron above uppercase-U with macron below and dot even further below A\28E = AE + double wide tilde above
