I occasionally encounter Unicode characters in my projects, and their handling is a judgement call. For example, I render oe-ligature as either "oe" or "[oe]". Greek words or short phrases, I transliterate. (Lots of Greek, I avoid.) I recently did a book that contained symbols for the sun and planets, but the book didn't explain what the symbols meant--I had to research which symbol meant which planet. I decided to render the symbols as words, e.g. [Sun], [Earth], etc, figuring that would be easier on the average reader. PG's posting software, as opposed to its text-checking software, can handle any UTF8 file (text and HTML) in any language. I've posted all manner of Greek, Chinese, Japanese, and even a couple of Tagalog submissions. As for "upgrading the toolset", none of the WWers has the programming skills to upgrade software like Gutcheck/Jeebies/Gutspell to properly handle UTF8 files, check curly quotes, etc, etc. Al -----Original Message----- From: gutvol-d [mailto:gutvol-d-bounces-4LCm/o+qPMZ96Xl/[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Adcock Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2015 5:21 PM To: 'Project Gutenberg Volunteer Discussion' Subject: Re: [gutvol-d] Unicode UTF-8 Compatible Version of Gutcheck >If a text file doesn't need Unicode characters, submit a Latin1 text file.
