Coding for new Unicode characters

Coding for new Unicode characters

[Richard Mahoney | Indica et Buddhica]

I am using Latin Modern Roman to typeset some proceedings and need the
following characters in regular, italic, and small caps:

Character: ṉ U+1E49
Name: LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH LINE BELOW

Character: Ṉ U+1E48
Name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH LINE BELOW


Character: ḻ U+1E3B
Name: LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH LINE BELOW

Character: Ḻ U+1E3A
Name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH LINE BELOW


Character: ṟ U+1E5F
Name: LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH LINE BELOW

Character: Ṟ U+1E5E
Name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R WITH LINE BELOW


These characters are available in Computer Modern Unicode (although
not, it seems, in small caps). Still, I would prefer to still with LM.

I'm wondering if there is a way in Context to set up these characters
on the fly, say with something along the lines of "newunicodechar"?

\newunicodechar{<char>}{<code>}

\newunicodechar{ā}{\accent"0304 a}

newunicodechar -- Definitions of the meaning of Unicode characters
https://ctan.org/pkg/newunicodechar?lang=en



Best, Richard

Just to say that I seem to have resolved this (& properly I hope).

I read these two pages:

https://www.contextgarden.net/Faking_characters

https://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/mkiv/enco-ini.mkiv?search=textcedilla

and have included the following with my setups:

% Additional Characters
\definecharacter llowmacron {\buildtextmacron l}
\definecharacter Llowmacron {\buildtextmacron L}
\definecharacter nlowmacron {\buildtextmacron n}
\definecharacter Nlowmacron {\buildtextmacron N}
\definecharacter rlowmacron {\buildtextmacron r}
\definecharacter Rlowmacron {\buildtextmacron R}

\define\lLM{\llowmacron}
\define\LLM{\Llowmacron}
\define\nLM{\nlowmacron}
\define\NLM{\Nlowmacron}
\define\rLM{\rlowmacron}
\define\RLM{\Rlowmacron}


This seems to do it, although if there is a better way please feel
free to say.


Best, Richard

\definefontfeature[default][default][compose=yes]

\starttext
     ṉṈḻḺṟṞ
\stoptext

So now you have to wikify both methods ... (this is one of those wiki 
pages that still describes mkii i guess, but you can ask Pavneet about 
the best place).
