Dear Richard,
thanks for the hint. All this leads me to believe that the "underring" combinations have not been defined as such. I found the said  definitions ( etc.) in Gandhari Unicode, I believe. Perhaps they were defined in some "private area" of that encoding, which I don't recall. Given that underring r and l are widely used in Indology and Indo-European linguistics, I can hardly believe that nobody ever cared to register them as "official" Unicode characters.

Best wishes,
Reinhold

Betreff: Re: [INDOLOGY] HTML definition of Unicode characters for r and l with "underring"?

Dear Reihold,

This file dated 17/5/16 doesn't seem to include r under ring:

ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt

Though it does contain the following:

grep  -nH 'LETTER R ' ./UnicodeData.txt

...

./UnicodeData.txt:6759:1E5A;LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R WITH DOT BELOW;Lu;0;L;0052 0323;;;;N;;;;1E5B;

./UnicodeData.txt:6760:1E5B;LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH DOT BELOW;Ll;0;L;0072 0323;;;;N;;;1E5A;;1E5A

./UnicodeData.txt:6761:1E5C;LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R WITH DOT BELOW AND MACRON;Lu;0;L;1E5A 0304;;;;N;;;;1E5D;

./UnicodeData.txt:6762:1E5D;LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH DOT BELOW AND MACRON;Ll;0;L;1E5B 0304;;;;N;;;1E5C;;1E5C

...

Grep finished (matches found) at Tue Jan 17 09:00:46



Best, R
