The Dutch supermarket @albertheijn dates back to 1887 and lucky for me the brand name contains the #DutchIJ! I've found wonderful examples in their amazing online archive https://t.co/M0melivZNP which I'm sharing with their permission. Starting this series with branch signage.
@achkasov@isoletters@SpecialXaracter It's a bit of a hybrid. Most Dutch will not use the ij U+0133 but type i+j instead. Special cases for capitalisation and sorting. There is support: j + ́
U+0301 works pretty well if the fonts are prepared for it. And keyboard support in iOS!
íj́OS 13!
—As of iOS 13 developer beta 7, the accented letter J́j́ (@j_acute, encoded as <J/j, U+0301 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT>) is finally both accessible and correctly shaped in the system Dutch keyboard layout’s touch-and-hold pop-up.
@CurtisYiffin @SpecialXaracter Unicode says "it is much easier to make them out of combining accents" - that's a bit one sided: the required data in the font is not trivial.
@unitgon @FakeUnicode Dutch really needs a j-acute, but Unicode does not want to add. Some fonts support combining accents and that lets you type a sequence that will render as i-acute j-acute.
