Yo people go to the testing topic page and get some info about typing in the Hawaiian language with proper diacriticals liʻdat. With the Hawaiian keyboard in unicode and a font selected the Kahakō can be typed along with ʻOkina.

Noeau,
Interesting. I hadn't tested with different fonts. I think that I'm liking verdana. Doesn't it still work without choosing a font, though?

I didn't previously work, perhaps the database that is the back end to this forum has been updated. Unicode in older versions of MySQL (if that is the backend of this) used to be problematic. The Unicode characters didn't used to work in here.
RE: fonts, it varies depending on your browser and OS. The only fonts that I've found that have the vowel-kahakō and ‘okina in the right Unicode locations on both Mac and Win are Palatino, Times New Roman, Helvetica and Courier. Arial on Win usually has them, as does Lucida Sans Unicode. On Mac, Lucida Grande. Most contemporary browsers will substitute a font that does have the character. If you use Verdana on PC on Windows, the Mac will show the characters with Lucida Grande. For people with older versions of Windows you'll sometimes see a square box. Nice to see it is working here.
For those of you who don't have Mac and its built in Hawaiian keyboard there is a Windows Unicode keyboard available for download from our college's website:

Keola,
It took me a while to get this, but it wasn't difficult. I needed to set the forum to support codepage=65001 and charset="utf-8".quote:

My PC and Mac at home display Hawaiian fonts correctly. My PC at work had trouble rendering the ʻokina until I upgraded to Internet Explorer 7.0 (from 6.0). 6.0 had the square box problem that you described. |

ā,ē,ī,ō,ū ʻĀ,Ē,Ī.Ō.Ū,ʻ with Arial selected. without the font selected it look like this ā,ē,ī,ō,ū ʻ Ā,Ē, Ī, Ō,Ū ʻ
maybe because I am using firefox on a mac. oh yeah when you select the font then you gott type inside the brackets where the space is between the two weird things that identify the font. |

Maikaʻi. My PC displays all the fonts correctly, including no font code.
BTW, I am referring to unicode only. Taropatch.net is set up to allow unicode, not HI Fonts. |

All of the lines appear on my Mac (OS X 10.5), however, there is a lot of font substitution happening. Most of the Sans serifs are displaying as either Helvetica or Lucida Grande, most of the servics as (I think) Palatino. Hard to tell with just the vowels, the letter "P" is usually the giveaway. Courier appears OK. Comic Sans is replaced by Zapf Chauncery.
As I mentioned previously, most current browsers will compensate and substitute a Hawaiian unicode character from a font that does have it if you specify a font that does not support it on that platform. For folks on older OS and browsers, it's hit and miss. Some will just display a square block, but fortunately they are becoming fewer. |
