How to Use Diacritical Codes

4.1.1.1

Using the Diacritical Codes
The following chart lists the codes used to indicate diacritics in the vocabulary data. Each code consists of the dollar sign ($) followed by two numbers. This code is placed before (in front of) the letter to which the diacritical mark applies. The same code can be applied to multiple letters. For example, if an acute accent should be applied to an a (á), it is recorded as $00a; if an acute accent should be applied to an e (é), it is recorded as $00e. In some cases, the code means that two diacritics are placed over the same character (e.g., $30). In other isolated cases, the code applies to two adjacent characters (e.g., $57, a digraph).

4.1.1.2

Adding New Codes
If you feel you have discovered a diacritic that needs to be added to the list, consult with your supervisor. New codes must be Unicode-compliant, so you should first research the correct Unicode character.
