Typing in Cherokee Using the Cherokee Typewriter Application |
|
NOTE: Cherokee script is not case-sensitive. Codes may be entered in either upper-case or lower-case letters. In a few cases, two or more alternative forms are possible. For example, the syllable Ꮗ (QUA) can be accessed using QUA or QWA or GWA while the syllable Ꮴ (TSA) is represented by any of the following: CHA, JA or TSA.
I am hoping that Cherokee diacritic markers will be mapped into Unicode soon. Once they are, I will add the capability to type them to this utility. Several people have been discussing how such a system could simplify the process of learning to read and write Cherokee. I myself wrote a proposal concerning this which you can access here (http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/stadium/7075/cherokee/CherokeeProposal.html). Arabic, Hebrew and other languages use such a system, and I believe English could also benefit from one. I speak about this briefly in the above-mentioned paper. |
