Template:Combining Grapheme Joiner
͏
Template documentationUsage[edit]
This template has the Unicode special character - Combining grapheme joiner (CGJ), used for entering particularly hard sequences of characters in Complex scripts.
Example: In most cases the Hebrew cantillation accent Metheg is supposed to appear to the left of the vowel point and by default most display systems will render it like this even if it is typed before the vowel. But in some words in Biblical Hebrew the Metheg appears to the right of the vowel, and to tell the display engine to render it properly on the right, CGJ must be typed between the Metheg and the vowel. Compare:
| he + pathah + metheg | Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Language/data/iana languages' not found. |
| he + metheg + pathah | Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Language/data/iana languages' not found. |
| he + metheg + {{subst:CGJ}} + pathah | Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Language/data/iana languages' not found. |
| he + metheg + {{CGJ}} + pathah | Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Language/data/iana languages' not found. |
(The examples in the table may not be supported if you don't have a font that properly supports Hebrew cantillation display. Ezra SIL SR is recommended.)
This template may be substed: הֽ{{subst:CGJ}}ַ.
Note that since CGJ is one of the newest Unicode features, it may not be properly supported on all platforms. It appears to work on Windows Vista, but may not work correctly on Windows XP.
