Phonetic values
Are the phonemic values of these letters standardised in the Pan-Nigerian alphabet, or does each letter represent a small category of sounds? Could someone who knows them add IPA transcriptions for the associated sounds? —Felix the Cassowary 08:12, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
History
I recall hearing more of the history of the PanNigerian alphabet project than is related in this article. Among other things, there was also a spinoff effort called PanKwa that resulted in a Mac font (pre-Unicode) that, despite the name, covered a range of West African language transcription needs. Will try to get relevant input.--A12n 17:56, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Unicode visibility
Thus spake the article:
- "If you have a Unicode font installed with the Pan-Nigerian glyphs then you should see an identical table below:"
But not if you have a browser that actually uses the font it's told to use – Internet Explorer. I just solved the problem by putting the Unicode template around the special characters.
