- Yeah but I just read (on the LINGUIST mailing list, i think) that the Czechs, or should I say C^echs, changed from +z forms to haczek forms recently enough that family names may well be spelt both ways.

- ‘Cz’, ‘sz’ and ‘zs’ (zh) are equivalent to ‘c’-haczek, ‘s’-haczek and ‘z’-haczek when accented characters are mot available. […] “'” is the “separator” and makes two letters keep the values they have in isolation, where otherwise they’d affect each other. Hence it mostly corresponds to the hard sign. However, when haczeks are not used it has other uses: Luz'skij (rajon) = Luz + skij, Richard fon Vajc'zekker (former(?) president of the FRG).

- For the lower-case t-, l-, and d- haczek, I intend to use the apostrophe, appropriately positioned; for the d-stroke of Croatian, I intend to use the macron or n-dash (whatever the font-designer regarded as appropriate), unless the font-designer felt it was more appropriate to actually DRAW the additional marks for these characters.

- I know how to use the techniques in the RedBook, to extend the CharStrings dictionary of the built-in fonts (Times, Times-Bold, Courier, Helvetica, etc.) — what I need is a reasonable set of metrics, so that, for instance, I can position, for each font, the ogonek with respect to the a and the e, or an apostrophe, to form a Czech t or d with “haczek” and so on.

- In some cases the accent developed out of a digraph in which the second letter came to be written above the first. I think this is the case of the French circumflex (superscripted “s”), the Czech etc. haczek (superscripted “z”), the German Umlaut (superscripted “e”), the Spanish tilda (superscripted “n” — or was it “h”?), and many others.

- In modern Czech the sound /tS/ is spelt “c”-caron. (A caron or hachek or haczek is like an inverted circumflex).

- I’ve always thought that the Czech sound which is written as r with a haczek above is considered the world’s “rarest sound” (if it’s possible for such a thing to exist).

- An S-set (don’t yell at me in German if I wrote that wrong) is now B since it looks rather like a B anyway. And the C-haczek is now “CZ” just to set it apart from the C in Czech.

- The haczek letters are related to those without, but that’s another story. (To start with, the r/r^, d/d^ and t/t^ pairs are not related in the same way as c/c^, s/s^ and z/z^, and … oh well, I’ll leave that for now…)

- In Polish your ch is cz, in Hungarian cs, in Czech, Slovak and most latinate South Slav languages it is c with a haczek.

- ASCII 219 is a U with a haczek character (like a pointing uparrow), the character Û. If you think this should be displayed as some other kind of character, you need to select the correct font first.

- I was gonna leave letters with haczeks off, i must admit. They make the whole thing harder for people who are not unicode masters like yourself.

- “Rz” is not used for transcription – except that it used to be used for transcribing Czech r-haczek (which is not the same sond, anyhow).

- The names for the other diacritics are: ogonek ‘tail’ or haczek ‘hook’ […]
