Testing Hawaiian

Mon, 04/10/2006 - 2:22pm — keola

This line contains each of the vowel macron characters required for proper display of the Hawaiian language as they are generated by our specification in Unicode: 

āēīōū ĀĒĪŌŪ ʻ

I won't know if this works until I post. It will depend on what font, if any, is selected as the default by this system. The next line contains the same characters, but with a more commonly implemented character for the ‘okina, the glottal:

āēīōū ĀĒĪŌŪ ‘

We will find out shortly whether or not either of these or both work.
