DOS code page

From The Toaq Wiki

This is a semi-fictional "con-codepage" for supporting Toaq and Derani on DOS-era computers in Toaqgua.

It is based off of the IBM PC's code page 437 with changes to support both Toaq writing systems.

Some concessions are are made due to the limitations of text rendering:

  • In Latin, prefixes are written using hyphens instead of underdots.
  • The Deranı tone markers (0xF7 through 0xF9) simply precede and float before the letter they would normally be on.
  • Cartouches are not used, other than the null cartouche (0x07).
  • Diphthongs are written using the precomposed "continuation vowels" 0xFA through 0xFE. For example koe is ko\xfb and noaı is no\xfd\xfc.
