No need to replace "a" vowels

Posted by on 04 Mar 2010 in Activity log

I just tried to find the Unicode characters for the mid-central [a] and the back [ɑ]. The former is LATIN SMALL LETTER a 0061, and the latter is LATIN SMALL LETTER ALPHA, 0251.

BUT when I copied and pasted the "back a" character which is used throughout the xml files, from Oxygen into the character palette search box, it turned out it IS LATIN SMALL LETTER a 0061!

So this is just a font problem in Oxygen, and we don't have to find and replace anything in the data. The character does display correctly as mid-central [a] on the database website.
