[Latingp] Diacritics Below

[Hazem Hezzah]

Dear all,

I went again through all combinations in the sheet, and could only see that there is a diacritic below because I’m intentionally looking at it. Specially those with dot, line and macron below.
As I said in the previous call, a normal user would not notice a difference, so my personal opinion would be to consider at least code points having those 3 diacritics as variants. 
This decision would of course would limit the use of IDNs.

Open for discussion.   

Regards,
Hazem Hezzah

Dear colleagues, 

If you can't tell which diacritic is used, that would logically be a case for a variant relationship between all potential options, but not the unmodified basic letter shape itself. 

Best,

    Dear colleagues, 

    I would like to show why I think the various diacritics below (not just
    dot and macron) ought to be accounted variants as well.  And I thought
    I'd do it as an email, because that's likely to be the way (along with
    links on web pages) that most people will get links.  

    By way of example, consider one of the original TLDs: .mil 

    _www.teștexampļe1.mil <http://www.xn--exampe-0cb.mil/>_
    _www.testexampḽe2.mil _
    www.testexample3.miḽ <http://www.testexample3.miḽ>
    _www.tesțexample4.miļ <http://www.example.xn--mi-gqa/>_

    Can you honestly say that you can tell which cases of .mil have
    diacritcs under the L?



    And if you think you can, did you notice which
    cases of "testexample" had them? And which diacritic? Because I sure
    can't.


  Yes, I can honestly say that I can see something under the l of example
  for the first two cases and something under the l of mil in the last two
  cases (plus some other strange things under s in the first and t in the
  last case.

  Which diacritic however, is something I could not tell.

  Furthermore in the first and the last case the actual link didn't match
  shown address, but that's a complete different problem, out of our scope.

  Best regards,

  Michael
