- public class UnicodeCodepointToThdlWylie
- extends Object
This noninstantiable class allows for converting from Unicode
codepoints to THDL Extended Wylie. It cannot be used for long
stretches of text, though, as it is unaware of context, which is
essential to understanding a non-trivial string of Tibetan
Unicode.
See the document by Nathaniel Garson and David Germano entitled
Extended Wylie Transliteration Scheme. Note that there are
a couple of issues with the November 18, 2001 revision of that
document; these issues are in the Bugs tracker at our SourceForge
site.

UnicodeCodepointToThdlWylie
public UnicodeCodepointToThdlWylie()
getThdlWylieForUnicodeString
public static StringBuffer getThdlWylieForUnicodeString(String x)
- Returns the THDL extended Wylie for the very simple sequence
x. Returns null iff some (Unicode) char in s has no THDL
extended Wylie representation. This is unaware of context, so
use it sparingly.
getThdlWylieForUnicodeCodepoint
public static String getThdlWylieForUnicodeCodepoint(char x)
- Returns the THDL extended Wylie for x, or null if there is
none. Understand that multiple Unicode code points (chars)
map to the same THDL Extended Wylie representation.
Understand also that the scrap of THDL Extended Wylie returned
is only valid in certain contexts. For example, not all
consonants take ra-btags. DLC NOW what about
canonicalization?
