Mr. Andrew Fincke | When I key in text, it doesn't enter as per the "Harari Unicode Keyboard Layout" provided at the Openroad site. Specifically the cononant+e doesn't give me on the screen what I see on the chart. Often the small round circle at the right in typical +e forms of the consonant don't appear. I also don't understand the a[ column of the chart. I also don't understand how to key io "ch" "gn" "kh" etc. |

Mr. Andrew Fincke | I found out from Andrew C. that the Harari keyboard is not installed, but rather only the Amharic EZ and EZ+. In using these I don't know how to type in the e-mutations, that is xie, sie, etc. Is there a dead key for getting the third in without getting ayin to print? More importantgly, why didn't the Harari install? |

Andrew C. Keyboard Designer | Could you provide the Unicode codepoint of of of the characters you want to type? That would allow me to reference their documentation and check.
Documentation on SERA EZ+ is available at http://www.geez.org/IM/sera-ez-plus/sera-ez-plus-am_ET.utf8.html Does this cover the Ethiopic characters you require? Andrew[/url] |

Andrew C. Keyboard Designer | For Amharic EZ+:
According to http://keyboards.ethiopic.org/AmharicTyping-EZ+.html the basic key sequences are qe, qu, qi, qa, qee, q, qo, for the basic seven series, this would give: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? qWe, qWi, qWu, qWa, qWee for additional characters where they exist. And this would give: ? ? ? ? ? Andrew |
