Keyboard layout | |||||||||||||||||
A "home made" keyboard layout which allows users to input Unicode characters for Linear B syllabary simply by typing the letters each syllable is composed of. It works exactly the same way as Mac OSX input system for Japanese Kana! Notes: 1) so-called homophones: symbols for series as "ra"-"ra2"-"ra3", "ro"-"ro2", "ta"-"ta2", "pu"-"pu2" can be obtained by typing the letters and the numeral ("1" for the first syllables of each series, which are usually referred to without a numeral) As for the "a"-"a2"-"a3"-"au" series, the symbol for "a" (N. 08) can be obtained by typing "a1"; "a2", which corresponds to ?, by typing "ha"; "a3" (=a with rough breathing) by typing "ai", and "au" ("a4") by typing "au". 2) The spacebar would input the dividing symbol as found on the tablets. In order to input a blank space, press Shift+Spacebar. 3) Numbers. Keys 1-9 will input the symbols for the units. Shift+1-9 works for the tens. Option+1-9 will input the hundreds. Shift+Option+1-9 will input the thousands. 1-9 with Caps Lock on will input the ten thousands. 4) Undeciphered syllabograms can be input by typing * followed by their numeric code, exactly as found on the editions. 5) Symbols for measures can be input by typing the letter they are identified by in transcriptions (S, L, V, Q and so on) with Caps Lock on. I hope my work will prove useful to fellow scholars. Please sign my guestbook! Enjoy! |
