Hi When running transliteration for text including the Danish letter 'Ã', a ? is produced rather than a proper transliteration: $ echo test à test | iconv -f utf8 -t ascii//translit test ? test This patch adds transliteration data for the small and capital versions of this letter (LATIN {SMALL,CAPITAL} LETTER O WITH STROKE). After applying the patch and rebuilding the locale, proper transliteration is achieved: $ echo test à test | iconv -f utf8 -t ascii//translit test oe test Tested on Arch Linux and CentOS 6. The choice of transliteration to the phonetic 'oe' is primarily based on being a native of Denmark (it's how my name is spelled on plane tickets and in my passport...), and on comments from comments from keld@keldix.com (see bugzilla comment thread), but these sources seem to agree: Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ã; The Nordic FAQ: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/nordic-faq/part1_INTRODUCTION/section-7.html The Danish encyclopedia: http://www.denstoredanske.dk/Samfund,_jura_og_politik/Sprog/Ortografi/Ã_Ã; -Toke diff --git a/localedata/locales/translit_combining b/localedata/locales/translit_combining index 44c62f9..97527e6 100644 --- a/localedata/locales/translit_combining +++ b/localedata/locales/translit_combining @@ -298,6 +298,8 @@ translit_start <U00D5> <U004F> % LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS <U00D6> <U004F> +% LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH STROKE -> "OE" +<U00D8> "<U004F><U0338>";"<U004F><U0045>" % LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH GRAVE <U00D9> <U0055> % LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH ACUTE @@ -350,6 +352,8 @@ translit_start <U00F5> <U006F> % LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS <U00F6> <U006F> +% LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE -> "oe" +<U00F8> "<U006F><U0338>";"<U006F><U0065>" % LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH GRAVE <U00F9> <U0075> % LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH ACUTE
