there is no yogh in unicode

1. Ian sent me an email this morning with a URL pointing at the Merchandising of Vincent Gallo website. Artwork by Charles Manson and sperm donation from Gallo. This is the man who put a hex on Roger Ebert’s colon. [via the Onion A/V Club’s holiday shopping guide] 2. Visited with Krishnan and his wife Santhya last night. She cooked up some great pakoras, and he gave me a sandalwood Ganesh keychain. 3. — 4. I was looking for a yogh in Unicode the other day, but all I could find was ezh. Googling led me to this set of pages: one and two. I have linked to Michael Everson before. He wrote a great article on the problematic spellings of Euro in languages other than English.

You're a little out of date. Yogh was disunified from Ezh, and added as a seperate character, in Unicode 3.0 (2000).

Ȝ U+021C LATIN CAPITAL LETTER YOGH
ȝ U+021D LATIN SMALL LETTER YOGH

Thanks, Tim. Guess that'll learn me for not updating my OS often enough. I'll check to see if the other, more up to date, machines have implemented Unicode 3.0.
