Confusion of Character and Function
editThis article confuses character and function.
The problem starts with the talk about a dependent vowel A. From reading the opening paragraph, I am lead to the conclusion that the Khmer, Thai, Lao and Tai Tham scripts and some Tamil Brahmi are hallucinations! They all have non-blank glyphs for what appears to be a dependent vowel A, used to varying extents.
The problem manifests itself most clearly with Chakma, for which <U+11103 CHAKMA LETTER AA, U+11127 CHAKMA VOWEL SIGN A> is listed at the development of the LETTER A and U+11103 is described as the development of Indic letter Ā. {Just to confuse matters, some Chakma script writing systems use U+11145 CHAKMA VOWEL SIGN AA). As a matter of character evolution, we need to include CHAKMA LETTER AA as a development of Indic letter A.
Do we have any evidence that combinations of U+11103 and dependent vowels are considered independent vowels? --RichardW57 (talk) 05:56, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
