Re: Pinyin troubles: (was Re: Further digression)

Pinyin requires spacing regardless of the uu/v, unfortunately. I discovered this when
trying to type my Chinese name.

  li-ang, liang
  xi-ang, xiang
  qi-ang, qiang
  ni-ang, niang
  xu-e, xue

Good point. I just checked NJStar, and it accepts both
/uu/ and /v/ for /ü/, but it does not accept /yu/. It
would be problematic getting tone marks on /v/ (if
you're using it for, say, ruby) and trying to keep it
separate from /u/ in handwriting, but it *would* also
establish a distinct grapheme for [y].
