[edit] The merger

Oppose Combining characters and dead keys have nothing to do with each other. One's a Unicode feature and the other's a keyboard feature. --/ɛvɪs/ /tɑːk/ /kɑntrɪbjuʃ(ə)nz/ 01:35, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

I agree the concepts, while related, are quite distinct. A-giau 03:51, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I agree too - no reason to merge pages. Can we get rid of the 'suggested merge' tag? Richard Donkin 08:59, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Color coding?

Could someone please explain why the tables are broken down into different colored zones? Thanks. -- Fullstop 19:49, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Text from dead key

With the advent of Unicode character encoding it is possible to combine any available diacritical mark with any other character. The “combining diacritical marks”can be found in Unicode space U+0300–U+036F. For example, you can combine “˜” (U+0303 Combining Tilde) with “p” so you get “p̃”, whether this makes sense or not.

More exotically, you can combine “ ̐” (U+0310 Combining Candrabindu) with “∞” so you get “∞̐”.

In case this is useful for this article. —Random832 13:51, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
