| 18:30 | <ramsey> | Is anyone aware of any language tags that would return "bottom-to-top" when passed to icu4c's uloc_getLineOrientation() function? |
| 18:31 | <ramsey> | For example, I've tried pgl-Ogam (Primitive Irish, Ogham script), but that returns "top-to-bottom" (which maybe is wrong?) |
| 18:32 | <ramsey> | Also, I know this is a channel for ECMA-402, but I was looking into the Intl Locale Info Proposal, which has a getTextInfo() method that includes (character) direction, and I was wondering why "line direction" was left out, but maybe it's because there are no language tags that would produce "bottom-to-top" in ICU |
| 18:35 | <littledan> | Wow, this is a pretty advanced question. I wonder if people over on the Unicode Slack would have that background, about what's in CLDR |
| 18:36 | <ramsey> | I wasn't aware of the Unicode Slack. I had gone looking for some chat channel for them on IRC or Matrix. Do you have a link? |
| 18:49 | <littledan> | ramsey: If you DM me your email address, I'll make sure you get an invite |
