Re: OT: CXS chart and machine-readable Unicode->CXS mappings

Hmm.  Must be a Windows/IE/MS specific problem.  Maybe your browser
does not like me to mark the page as ISO-8859-1, but that is actually
correct (as I understand the HTML standard).  HTML states that all
characters encoded as &#x...; are always Unicode.

I'll try to change it to utf8, though.  Let's see what my test browser
Netscape 4.74 does with that.

Thanks!  I fixed it.

Those are not at all my suggestions but rather gathered knowledge.
It's used like that on Conlang.  I used Tristan's chart in png-format
as a basis (there is a link).  Actually, I like [1] more than [i\],
but that's only because Tyl-Sjok phonetics are then writable in CXS
without any diacritics. :-)  (E.g. vowels: /i E 1 3 a M V/)

Bye,
