("Letter" is interpreted 843 broadly, as anything having the property Alphabetic in the [<a 844 href="http://unicode.org/reports/tr41/#UAX44">UAX44</a>], which also 845 includes syllabaries and ideographs.) It is not a complete set of 846 letters used for a language, nor should it be considered to apply to 847 multiple languages in a particular country. Punctuation and other 848 symbols should not be included in the main and auxiliary sets. In 849 particular, format characters like CGJ are not included. 850 </p> 851 <p> 852 There are five sets altogether: main, auxiliary, punctuation, numbers, and 853 index. The <i>main</i> set should contain the minimal set required 854 for users of the language, while the <i>auxiliary</i> exemplar set is 855 designed to encompass additional characters: those non-native or 856 historical characters that would customarily occur in common 857 publications, dictionaries, and so on. Major style guidelines are 858 good references for the auxiliary set. So, for example, if Irish 859 newspapers and magazines would commonly have Danish names using , 860 for example, then it would be appropriate to include in the 861 auxiliary exemplar characters; just not in the main exemplar set. 862 Thus English has the following: 863 </p> 864 865 <p> 866 <exemplarCharacters>[a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u 867 v w x y z]</exemplarCharacters><br> <exemplarCharacters 868 type="auxiliary">[ 869 ]</exemplarCharacters> 870 </p> 871 872 <p>For a given language, there are a few factors that help for 873 determining whether a character belongs in the auxiliary set, instead 874 of the main set:</p> 875 876 <ul> 877 <li>The character is not available on all normal keyboards.</li> 878 <li>It is acceptable to always use spellings that avoid that 879 character.</li> 880 </ul> 881 882 <p>For example, the exemplar character set for en (English) is the 883 set [a-z]. This set does not contain the accented letters that are 884 sometimes seen in words like "rsum" or "nave", because it is 885 acceptable in common practice to spell those words without the 886 accents. The exemplar character set for fr (French), on the other 887 hand, must contain those characters: [a-z 888 ]. The main set typically includes those letters commonly 889 "alphabet".</p> 890 891 <p> 892 The <em>punctuation</em> set consists of common punctuation 893 characters that are used with the language (corresponding to main and 894 auxiliary). Symbols may also be included where they are common in 895 plain text, such as . It does not include characters with narrow 896 technical usage, such as dictionary punctuation/symbols or copy-edit 897 symbols. For example, English would have something like the 898 following: 899 </p> 900 901 <blockquote> 902 - <br> , ; : ! ? . <br> ' ‘ ’ " “ 903 ” <br> ( ) [ ] { } <br> @ & / # 904 % * <br> + < = > <br> 905 </blockquote> 906 907 <p> 908 The numbers exemplars does not currently include lesser-used characters: exponential notation (3.1 10, , NAN). Nor does it contain the units or currency symbols such as $, , , It does contain %, because that occurs in the percent format. It may contain some special formatting characters like the RLM. A full list of the currency symbols used with that locale are in the <currencies> element, while the units can be gotten from the <units> element (both using inheritance, of course).The digits used in each numbering system are accessed in 909 numberingSystems.xml.

For details see the <a 948 href="tr35-collation.html#Collation_Indexes">Unicode LDML: 949 Collation</a> document. The index set may only contain characters whose 950 lowercase versions are in the main and auxiliary exemplar sets, 951 though for cased languages the index exemplars are typically in 952 uppercase. Characters from the auxiliary exemplar set may be 953 necessary in the index set if it needs to properly handle items such 954 as names which may require characters not included in the main 955 exemplar set. 956 </p> 957 958 <p>Here is a sample of the XML structure:</p> 959 960 <pre><exemplarCharacters type="index">[A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z]</exemplarCharacters></pre> 961 962 <p>The display of the index characters can be modified with the 963 Index labels elements, discussed in Section 5.6.4.</p> 964 965 <h4> 966 3.1.1 <a name="ExemplarSyntax" href="#ExemplarSyntax">Exemplar 967 Syntax</a> 968 </h4> 969 970 971 <p> 972 In all of the exemplar characters, the list of characters is in the <a 973 href="tr35.html#Unicode_Sets">Unicode Set</a> format, which normally 974 allows boolean combinations of sets of letters and Unicode 975 properties. 976 </p> 977 978 <p> 979 Sequences of characters that act like a single letter in the language 980 especially in collation are included within braces, such as [a-z 981 {cs} {dz} {dzs} {gy} ...]. The characters should be 982 in normalized form (NFC). Where combining marks are used 983 generatively, and apply to a large number of base characters (such as 984 in Indic scripts), the individual combining marks should be included. 985 Where they are used with only a few base characters, the specific 986 combinations should be included. Wherever there is not a precomposed 987 character (for example, single codepoint) for a given combination, 988 that must be included within braces. For example, to include 989 sequences from the <a href="http://unicode.org/standard/where/">Where 990 is my Character?</a> page on the Unicode site, one would write: [{ch} 991 {t} {x} {} {} {i} {}], but for French one would just write 992 [a-z ...].

(The language would 999 probably have plain 'z' in the auxiliary set, for use in foreign 1000 words.) If combining characters can be used productively in 1001 combination with a large number of others (such as say Indic matras), 1002 then they are not listed in all the possible combinations, but 1003 separately, such as:</p> 1004 1005 <blockquote>[ - - - - 1006 - - - - - - - -]</blockquote> 1007 1008 <p>The exemplar character set for Han characters is composed 1009 somewhat differently. It is even harder to draw a clear line for Han 1010 characters, since usage is more like a frequency curve that slowly 1011 trails off to the right in terms of decreasing frequency. So for this 1012 case, the exemplar characters simply contain a set of reasonably 1013 frequent characters for the language.</p> 1014 1015 <p>The ordering of the characters in the set is irrelevant, but 1016 for readability in the XML file the characters should be in sorted 1017 order according to the locale's conventions.

<strong>narrow</strong>. As usual, the narrow forms may not be 2104 unique: in English, 1 could mean 1 minute of arc, or 1 foot. Thus 2105 narrow forms should only be used where the context makes the meaning 2106 clear. 2107 </p> 2108 <p> 2109 Where the unit of measurement is one of the <a 2110 href="http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/units.html">International 2111 System of Units (SI)</a>, the short and narrow forms will typically use 2112 the international symbols, such as mm for millimeter. They may, 2113 however, be different if that is customary for the language or 2114 locale. For example, in Russian it may be more typical to see the 2115 Cyrillic characters . 2116 </p> 2117 <p>Units are included for translation even where they are not 2118 typically used in a particular locale, such as kilometers in the US, 2119 or inches in Germany. This is to account for use by travelers and 2120 specialized domains, such as the German Fernseher von 32 bis 55 2121 Zoll (80 bis 140 cm) for TV screen size in inches and centimeters.</p> 2122 <p>For temperature, there is a special unit <unit 2123 type="temperature-generic">, which is used when it is 2124 clear from context whether Celcius or Fahrenheit is implied.</p> 2125 <p>For duration, there are special units such as <unit 2126 type="duration-year-person"> and <unit 2127 type="duration-year-week"> for indicating the age of a 2128 person, which requires special forms in some languages. For example, 2129 in "zh", references to a person being 3 days old or 30 years old 2130 would use the forms 3 and 30 respectively.</p> 2131 <h3> 2132 6.1 <a name="perUnitPatterns" href="#perUnitPatterns">per Unit 2133 patterns</a><a name="compoundUnitPattern" href="#compoundUnitPattern"></a> 2134 </h3> 2135 <p> 2136 A common combination of units is X per Y, such as <em>miles per 2137 hour</em> or <em>liters per second</em>. Some units already have 2138 'precomputed' forms, such as <strong>kilometer-per-hour</strong>; 2139 where such units exist, they should be used in preference. There are 2140 two other patterns that can be used to compose unit symbols or names. 2141 </p> 2142 <p> 2143 <strong>compoundUnit</strong> This is used to construct a pattern 2144 from two unit names. For example, a form such as "{0} per 2145 {1}" or "{0}/{1}" can be used to construct cases such 2146 as "2 feet<strong> per </strong>second" or "ft<strong>/</strong>s" 2147 </p> 2148 <p> 2149 <strong>perUnitPattern</strong> This is used as the denominator 2150 with another unit name. For example, a form such as "{0} per 2151 second" can be used to form "2 feet<strong> per 2152 second</strong>". 2153 </p> 2154 <p>The difference between these is that in some inflected 2155 languages, the compoundUnit cannot be used to form grammatical 2156 phrases. This is typically because the "per" + 2157 "second" combine in a non-trivial way. For such languages, 2158 the compoundUnit should only be used as a fallback, when there is no 2159 other recourse.</p> 2160 <p>When constructing a pattern for value=V, numeratorUnit=N, 2161 denominatorUnit=D, the following precess is used.</p> 2162 <ol> 2163 <li>If there is a compound form for N/D already available, use 2164 it.</li> 2165 <li>Otherwise, format the N pattern with the number using plural 2166 categories. 2167 <ul> 2168 <li> "3 kilograms"</li> 2169 </ul> 2170 </li> 2171 <li>See if there is a <strong>perUnitPattern</strong> for D. 2172 2173 <ol> 2174 <li>If so, then substitute the formatted numerator into the <strong>perUnitPattern</strong> 2175 <ul> 2176 <li>"3 kilograms" + "{0} per second" 2177 "3 kilograms per second"</li> 2178 </ul> 2179 </li> 2180 <li>If not, get the <strong>compoundUnit</strong> pattern, and 2181 substitute the formatted numerator for {0} and the singular form 2182 of the denominator for {1}, after stripping the {0} and trimming 2183 spaces. 2184 <ul> 2185 <li>"3 kilograms" + "{0} per {1}" + 2186 "{0} second" </li> 2187 <li>"3 kilograms" + "{0} per {1}" + 2188 "second" </li> 2189 <li>"3 kilograms per second"</li> 2190 </ul></li> 2191 </ol> 2192 </li> 2193 </ol> 2194 <p>The patterns can have different unit lengths, so the 2195 appropriate unit length should be used (with fallbacks if necessary).</p> 2196 <h3> 2197 6.2 <a name="Unit_Sequences" href="#Unit_Sequences">Unit 2198 Sequences</a> 2199 </h3> 2200 <p> 2201 Units may be used in composed sequences, such as <strong>5 2202 30</strong> for 5 degrees 30 minutes, or <strong>3 ft 2 in.</strong>For that 2203 purpose, the appropriate width of the unit listPattern can be used to 2204 compose the units in a sequence. 2205 </p> 2206 <pre><listPattern type="unit"> (for the long form) 2207 <listPattern type="unit-narrow"> 2208 <listPattern type="unit-short"> 2209 </pre> 2210 <h3> 2211 6.3 <a name="durationUnit" href="#durationUnit">durationUnit</a> 2212 </h3> 2213 <p>The durationUnit is a special type of unit used for composed 2214 time unit durations.</p> 2215 <pre><durationUnit type="hms"> 2216 <durationUnitPattern>h:mm:ss</durationUnitPattern> <!-- 33:04:59 --> 2217 </durationUnit> </pre> 2218 <p>The type contains a skeleton, where 'h' stands for hours, 'm' 2219 for minutes, and 's' for sections.

This is done explicitly with 2928 the Indic script transforms: to get Devanagari-Latin, internally it 2929 is done by transforming first from Devanagari to Interindic (an 2930 internal superset encoding for Indic scripts), then from Interindic 2931 to Latin. This allows there to be only N sets of transform rules for 2932 the Indic scripts: each one to and from Interindic. These pivots are 2933 explicitly represented in the CLDR transforms.</p> 2934 <p>Note that the characters currently used by Interindic are private use characters. To prevent those from leaking out into text, transforms converting from Interindic must ensure that they convert all the possible values used in Interindic.</p> 2935 <p> 2936 The pivots can also be produced automatically (implicitly), as a 2937 fallback. A particularly useful pivot is IPA, since that tends to 2938 preserve pronunciation. For example, <em>Czech to IPA</em> can be 2939 chained with <em>IPA to Katakana</em> to get <em>Czech to 2940 Katakana</em>. 2941 </p> 2942 <p>CLDR often has special forms of IPA: not just 2943 "und-FONIPA" but "cs-FONIPA": specifically IPA 2944 that has come from Czech. These variants typically preserve some 2945 features of the source language such as double consonants that 2946 are indistinguishable from single consonants in that language, but 2947 that are often preserved in traditional transliterations. Thus when 2948 matching prospective pivots, FONIPA is treated specially. If there is 2949 an exact match, that match is used (such as cs-cs_FONIPA + 2950 cs_FONIPA-ko). Otherwise, the language is ignored, as for example in 2951 cs-cs_FONIPA + ru_FONIPA-ko.</p> 2952 <p>The interaction of implicit pivots and 2953 inheritance may result in a longer inheritance chain lookup than 2954 desired, so implementers may consider having some sort of caching 2955 mechanism to increase performance.</p> 2956 <h3> 2957 10.2 <a name="Variants" href="#Variants">Variants</a> 2958 </h3> 2959 2960 <p> 2961 Variants used in CLDR include UNGEGN and BGN, both indicating sources 2962 for transliterations.

That was discarded in CLDR version 29, in favor 3066 of a simpler format where the separate rules are simply terminated 3067 with ";".</p> 3068 <p> 3069 The transform rules are similar to regular-expression substitutions, 3070 but adapted to the specific domain of text transformations. The rules 3071 and comments in this discussion will be intermixed, with # marking 3072 the comments. The simplest rule is a 3073 conversion rule, which replaces one string of characters with 3074 another. The conversion rule takes the following form: 3075 </p> 3076 3077 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3078 <tr> 3079 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>xy z ;</code></td> 3080 </tr> 3081 </table> 3082 3083 <p>This converts any substring "xy" into "z". Rules are executed 3084 in order; consider the following rules:</p> 3085 3086 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3087 <tr> 3088 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code> 3089 sch sh ;<br> ss z ; 3090 </code></td> 3091 </tr> 3092 </table> 3093 3094 <p>This conversion rule transforms "bass school" into "baz shool". 3095 The transform walks through the string from start to finish. Thus 3096 given the rules above "bassch" will convert to "bazch", because the 3097 "ss" rule is found before the "sch" rule in the string (later, we'll 3098 see a way to override this behavior). If two rules can both apply at 3099 a given point in the string, then the transform applies the first 3100 rule in the list.</p> 3101 3102 <p>All of the ASCII characters except numbers and letters are 3103 reserved for use in the rule syntax, as are the characters , , . 3104 Normally, these characters do not need to be converted. However, to 3105 convert them use either a pair of single quotes or a slash. The pair 3106 of single quotes can be used to surround a whole string of text. The 3107 slash affects only the character immediately after it. For example, 3108 to convert from a U+2190() LEFTWARDS ARROW to the string "arrow 3109 sign" (with a space), use one of the following rules:</p> 3110 3111 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3112 <tr> 3113 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code> 3114 \ arrow\ sign ;<br> '' 3115 'arrow sign' ;<br> '' 3116 arrow' 'sign ; 3117 </code></td> 3118 </tr> 3119 </table> 3120 3121 <p>Spaces may be inserted anywhere without any effect on the 3122 rules. Use extra space to separate items out for clarity without 3123 worrying about the effects. This feature is particularly useful with 3124 combining marks; it is handy to put some spaces around it to separate 3125 it from the surrounding text. The following is an example:</p> 3126 3127 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3128 <tr> 3129 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code> i ; # 3130 an iota-subscript diacritic turns into an i.</code></td> 3131 </tr> 3132 </table> 3133 3134 <p>For a real space in the rules, place quotes around it. For a 3135 real backslash, either double it \\, or quote it '\'. For a real 3136 single quote, double it '', or place a backslash before it \'.</p> 3137 3138 <p>Any text that starts with a hash mark and concludes a line is a 3139 comment. Comments help document how the rules work. The following 3140 shows a comment in a rule:</p> 3141 3142 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3143 <tr> 3144 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>x ks ; # 3145 change every x into ks</code></td> 3146 </tr> 3147 </table> 3148 3149 <p>The \u and \x hex notations can be used instead of any 3150 letter. For instance, instead of using the Greek , one could write 3151 either of the following:</p> 3152 3153 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3154 <tr> 3155 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code> 3156 \u03C0 p ;<br> \x{3C0} p ; 3157 </code></td> 3158 </tr> 3159 </table> 3160 3161 <p>One can also define and use variables, such as:</p> 3162 3163 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3164 <tr> 3165 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code> 3166 $pi = \u03C0 ;<br> $pi p ; 3167 </code></td> 3168 </tr> 3169 </table> 3170 3171 <h4> 3172 10.3.1 <a name="Dual_Rules" href="#Dual_Rules">Dual Rules</a> 3173 </h4> 3174 <p>Rules can also specify what happens when an inverse transform 3175 is formed. To do this, we reverse the direction of the "" sign. Thus 3176 the above example becomes:</p> 3177 3178 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8"> 3179 <tr> 3180 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>$pi p ;</code></td> 3181 </tr> 3182 </table> 3183 3184 <p>With the inverse transform, "p" will convert to the Greek p. 3185 These two directions can be combined together into a dual conversion 3186 rule by using the "" operator, yielding:</p> 3187 3188 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3189 <tr> 3190 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>$pi p ;</code></td> 3191 </tr> 3192 </table> 3193 3194 <h4> 3195 10.3.2 <a name="Context" href="#Context">Context</a> 3196 </h4> 3197 3198 <p>Context can be used to have the results of a transformation be 3199 different depending on the characters before or after. The following 3200 rule removes hyphens, but only when they follow lowercase characters: 3201 </p> 3202 3203 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3204 <tr> 3205 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code> [:Lowercase:] 3206 { '-' ; </code></td> 3207 </tr> 3208 </table> 3209 3210 <p>Contexts can be before or after or both, such as in a rule to 3211 remove hyphens between lowercase and uppercase letters:</p> 3212 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3213 <tr> 3214 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>[:Lowercase:] { 3215 '-' } [:Uppercase:] ;</code></td> 3216 </tr> 3217 </table> 3218 <p>Each context is optional and may be empty; the following two 3219 rules are equivalent:</p> 3220 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3221 <tr> 3222 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code> 3223 $pi p ;<br> {$pi} {p} ; 3224 </code></td> 3225 </tr> 3226 </table> 3227 <p> 3228 The context itself ([: 3229 <code> Lowercase </code> 3230 :]) is unaffected by the replacement; only the text within braces is 3231 changed. 3232 </p> 3233 <p> 3234 Character classes (UnicodeSets) in the contexts can contain the 3235 special symbol $, which means off either end of the string. It is 3236 roughly similar to $ and ^ in regex. Unlike normal regex, however, it 3237 can occur in character classes. Thus the following rule removes 3238 hyphens that are after lowercase characters, <em>or</em> are at the 3239 start of a string. 3240 </p> 3241 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3242 <tr> 3243 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>[[:Lowercase:]$] 3244 {'-' ;</code></td> 3245 </tr> 3246 </table> 3247 3248 <p> 3249 Thus the negation of a UnicodeSet will normally also match before or 3250 after the end of a string. The following will remove hyphens that are 3251 not after lowercase characters<em>, including hyphens at the 3252 start of a string</em>. 3253 </p> 3254 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3255 <tr> 3256 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>[^[:Lowercase:]] 3257 {'-' ;</code></td> 3258 </tr> 3259 </table> 3260 <p>It will thus convert -B A-B a-b to B AB a-b.</p> 3261 <h4> 3262 10.3.3 <a name="Revisiting" href="#Revisiting">Revisiting</a> 3263 </h4> 3264 3265 <p>If the resulting text contains a vertical bar "|", then that 3266 means that processing will proceed from that point and that the 3267 transform will revisit part of the resulting text. Thus the | marks a 3268 "cursor" position. For example, if we have the following, then the 3269 string "xa" will convert to "w".</p> 3270 3271 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3272 <tr> 3273 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code> 3274 x y | z ;<br> z a w; 3275 </code></td> 3276 </tr> 3277 </table> 3278 3279 <p>First, "xa" is converted to "yza". Then the processing will 3280 continue from after the character "y", pick up the "za", and convert 3281 it. Had we not had the "|", the result would have been simply "yza". 3282 The '@' character can be used as filler character to place the 3283 revisiting point off the start or end of the string. Thus the 3284 following causes x to be replaced, and the cursor to be backed up by 3285 two characters.</p> 3286 3287 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3288 <tr> 3289 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>x |@@y;</code></td> 3290 </tr> 3291 </table> 3292 3293 <h4> 3294 10.3.4 <a name="Example" href="#Example">Example</a> 3295 </h4> 3296 3297 <p>The following shows how these features are combined together in 3298 the Transliterator "Any-Publishing".

If 3499 there is no after_context, then the "}" can be omitted. If there is 3500 no result_to_revisit, then the "|" can be omitted. A forward 3501 conversion rule is only executed for the normal transform and is 3502 ignored when generating the inverse transform.</p> 3503 </blockquote> 3504 3505 <p> 3506 <b>Backward</b> 3507 </p> 3508 3509 <blockquote> 3510 <p>A backward conversion rule is of the following form:</p> 3511 3512 <blockquote> 3513 <pre>completed_result | result_to_revisit before_context { text_to_replace } after_context ;</pre> 3514 </blockquote> 3515 3516 <p>The same omission rules apply as in the case of forward 3517 conversion rules.

The only time their order in the rule set is important 3564 is when more than one rule matches at the same point in the 3565 string. In that case, the one that occurs earlier in the rule 3566 set wins. In all other situations, when multiple rules match 3567 overlapping parts of the string, the one that matches earlier wins.</p> 3568 3569 <p>Transform rules apply to the whole string. If you have 3570 several transform rules in a row, the first one is applied to the 3571 whole string, then the second one is applied to the whole string, and 3572 so on. To reconcile this behavior with the behavior of 3573 conversion rules, transform rules have the side effect of breaking a 3574 surrounding set of conversion rules into two groups: First all of the 3575 conversion rules before the transform rule are applied as a group to 3576 the whole string in the usual way, then the transform rule is applied 3577 to the whole string, and then the conversion rules after the 3578 transform rule are applied as a group to the whole string. For 3579 example, consider the following rules:</p> 3580 3581 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3582 <tr> 3583 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code> 3584 abc xyz;<br> xyz def;<br> ::Upper; 3585 </code></td> 3586 </tr> 3587 </table> 3588 3589 <p>If you apply these rules to abcxyz, you get XYZDEF. 3590 If you move the ::Upper; to the middle of the rule set and change 3591 the cases accordingly, then applying this to abcxyz produces 3592 DEFDEF.</p> 3593 3594 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3595 <tr> 3596 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code> 3597 abc xyz;<br> ::Upper;<br> XYZ DEF; 3598 </code></td> 3599 </tr> 3600 </table> 3601 3602 <p>This is because ::Upper; causes the transliterator to reset 3603 to the beginning of the string. The first rule turns the string into 3604 xyzxyz, the second rule upper cases the whole thing to XYZXYZ, 3605 and the third rule turns this into DEFDEF.</p> 3606 3607 <p>This can be useful when a transform naturally occurs in 3608 multiple passes. Consider this rule set:</p> 3609 3610 <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" border="1"> 3611 <tr> 3612 <td valign="top" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code> 3613 [:Separator:]* ' ';<br> 'high school' 'H.S.';<br> 3614 'middle school' 'M.S.';<br> 'elementary school' 'E.S.'; 3615 </code></td> 3616 </tr> 3617 </table> 3618 3619 <p>If you apply this rule to high school, you get H.S., but if 3620 you apply it to high school (with two spaces), you just get 3621 high school (with one space).

It should be treated as one of the element values for other 4188 purposes.</p> 4189 <p>When there is no<strong> type </strong>attribute, the value is a set of <strong>keywords</strong>, delimited by |. Spaces around each element are to be trimmed. The <strong>keywords</strong> are words associated with the character(s) that might be used in searching for the character, or in predictive typing on keyboards. The short name itself can be used as a keyword.</p> 4190 <p>Here is an example from German:</p> 4191 4192 <pre class="example"> 4193 <annotation cp="">schlecht | Hand | Daumen | nach unten</annotation> 4194 <annotation cp="" type="tts">Daumen runter</annotation> 4195 </pre> 4196 4197 <p>The cp attribute value has two formats: either a single string, or if contained within [] a UnicodeSet.

Given their large number, only the names of frequently-used OpenType feature names are available CLDR.

Of course, applications are free to implement their own algorithms depending on their specific needs.</p> 4524 <p>To find a localized subfamily name such as “Extraleicht Schmal” for a font called “Extralight Condensed”, a system or application library might do the following: </p> 4525 <ol> 4526 <li> 4527 <p>Determine the set of languages in which the subfamily name can potentially be returned.This is the union of the languages for which the font contains ‘name’ table entries with ID 2 or 17, plus the languages for which CLDR supplies typographic names. </p> 4528 </li> 4529 <li> 4530 <p>Use a language matching algorithm such as in ICU to find the best available language given the user preferences.

If the font has no STAT table, assume [Width, Weight, Slant] as axis ordering, and infer the font’s style atributes from other available data in the font (eg. the OS/2 table). </p> 4540 </li> 4541 <li>For each design axis, find a localized style name for its value. 4542 <ol> 4543 <li>If the font’s style attributes point to a ‘name’ table entry that is available the result language, use this name.</li> 4544 <li>Otherwise, generate a fallback name from CLDR style Name data. 4545 <ol> 4546 <li>The type key is the OpenType axis tag ( ‘wght’). The subtype and alt keys are taken from the entry in English CLDR where the string is equal to the English name in the font. For example, when the font uses a weight whose English style name is “Extralight”, this will lead to subtype = “200” and alt = “variant”. If there is no match, take the axis value (“200”) for subtype and the empty string for alt. </li> 4547 <li>Look up (type, subtype) in a data table derived from CLDR’s style names. If CLDR supplies multiple alternate names for this (type, subtype), use the one whose “alt” key is matching; otherwise, use the default alternate (which has no “alt” atribute in CLDR).</li> 4548 </ol> 4549 </li> 4550 </ol> 4551 </li> 4552 <li>Concatenate the strings, with a separator between them.</li> 4553 </ol> 4554 4555 <hr> 4556 <p class="copyright"> 4557 Copyright 20012018 Unicode, Inc.
