So please > make Latin small letter dotless j with stroke and hook look according > to its name http://www.arts.gla.ac.uk/ipa/nonpulmonic.html There is very little point in designing a glyph that looks significantly different from what the IPA shows there in their own charts, because the point of U+0284 is to serve as *that* character. The Unicode representative glyph could be tweaked a little to match the IPA glyph more closely. In particular, the bar should be a little higher, and it wouldn't hurt to distinguish the top hook a little more from the top hook of the esh. But other than that, talking about how a dotless j with stroke and hook should look, based on its name, is an exercise in futility. Asmus is correct. --Ken
