Details
Before conversion, some characters
(i.e. '<>[]') are removed and others converted into
spaces (i.e. '*,;:()'). Transliterations are then split
on space, dash and equals sign. Transliterations are compared
with syllabic and logographic readings regardless of
case. Unrecognized sequences should display unchanged. ,
'*a' (initial-a-final) is treated as 'a',
'|' is the word divider sign '𔖵' and a single forward or
back quote before a reading is the 'personal determinative' sign
(𔖲 383A). Many combinations like 'sa5+ra/i' are
not supported, replace the '+' with '-' to get separate
signs. You can also type a sign number or a unicode hex value and I
attempt to handle some variants
(so wa/i2, wa2/i2, wa/i₂, wá/í, 144C1, 166
and 𔓁 all translate to '𔓁'). I make no attempt
to handle writing direction. (Text is processed left-to-right and
hieroglyphs are rendered with the default unicode glyph
direction.) Ultimately the data is derived from the Unicode doc, so looking in there might explain why signs are missing/ misinterpreted.
