What has case distinction but is neither uppercase nor lowercase?

- jauco 2y agoIt looks like a Hungarian keyboard does not have a key for the dz ligature. So do they use that unicode codepoint in practice? Or is it just a ‘d’ followed by a ‘z’?

- acadapter 2y agoBoth Serbo-Croatian and Hungarian have these multi-character letters, but these Unicode points were created for the typographical needs (or rather, bad habits) of Serbo-Croatian. The "Dz" was probably included for the use-case where someone transcribes something in Macedonian. One example can be seen on the Croatian 2kn coin, which features a tuna and a title written T U NJ. Hungarian has more of these multi-symbol letters (with each letter having 1-3 symbols. It also has some other complications, such as having two "sz" in a row appear like "ssz", unless separated by a line break or a hyphen (then it's just two "sz"). IMO it was probably a mistake to let the article focus so much on Hungarian, as these Unicode points don't seem to be created for the purposes of the Hungarian language.
