Feature Request: IPPH/APPH locale override for lower g with stroke (ǥ) to shape of script g (ɡ).

[jmcwilliams403]

According to L2/L2024/24050 and L2/L2024/24234r , it has been decided by the Unicode Consortium and the International Phonetics Association that the future encoding of script g (ɡ) with the addition of both a stroke and palatal hook should be handled as simply ǥ with a palatal hook, with its preferred single-storey shape being the responsibility of the font.

Since Iosevka currently supports IPA/APA locale overrides via the real OpenType language tags IPPH/APPH, it may be possible to implement an override of ǥ that makes it take on the shape of script g (ɡ).

I tried implementing it when these Unicode documents were first made public, but I somehow couldn't get it to work. It might be something to do with how the locale override checks for Greek characters first and then terminates, or maybe it's just that multi-script locales are more complicated to implement in general.

It is also worth mentioning that the superscript version of ǥ is also scheduled for future encoding as of L2/L2024/24234r, which means it should also be affected by the locale override, similar to the behavior of Cyrillic letters etc.

Well for g it is Latin so you need latn_IPPH / latn_APPH.

yes I implemented it that way but for some reason it didn't work when the locale was shared with grek_IPPH/grek_APPH.

Maybe it is an upper-level thing (they forget to call latn/IPPH).
