# Demo of combining-character support in Mu, which can be summarized as, "the
# old typewriter-based approach of backing up one character and adding the
# accent or _matra_ in."
# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combining_character
#
# Mu uses this approach for both accents in Latin languages and vowel
# diacritics in Abugida scripts.
# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacritic
# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abugida
#
# Steps for trying it out:
# 1. Translate this example into a disk image code.img.
# ./translate apps/ex15.mu
# 2. Run:
# qemu-system-i386 -hda code.img -hdb data.img
#
# Expected output:
# 'à' in green in a few places near the top-left corner of screen, showing off
# what this approach can and cannot do.
#
# A few Devanagari letter combinations.
#
# Others? (Patches welcome.) I suspect Tibetan in particular will not work
# well with this approach. But I need native readers to assess quality.
