Green background edit

Latest comment: 12 years ago5 comments2 people in discussion

Can someone add a note on the green background? -DePiep (talk) 09:19, 3 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

The characters with a green background are the only jamo that can combine to form a Hangul syllable under normalization form NFC (and conversely any Hangul syllable character can only decompose under NFD to a sequence of 2 or 3 green-background jamo).

Tried to phrase that in a footnote. -DePiep (talk) 13:01, 3 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

I modified it somewhat, as all the jamo are conjoining (that is sequences of 2 or 3 green and/or white jamo should be rendered as a square block with a font that properly supports Jamo), but only the green-background characters can be converted to and from Hangul syllables by normalization. I guess a footnote is not the best place to try to explain this, as it is quite complicated. BabelStone (talk) 13:37, 3 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Every improvement is welcome, as indeed it is difficult. Anyway: if we use a marking color, we must explain what we are marking. Or else remoave the marking altogether. I prefer the first option, a first hint for where to look further. -DePiep (talk) 14:28, 3 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
