Description Amqui 2012-04-14 02:12:48 UTC
See example at http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/shh/Ba%CC%B2i%CC%B2ngwi .

The Shoshoni language (and some African languages) use the underline as a diacritic (see Underscore entry on the English Wikipedia for more details). The unicode used to perform that is the "combine low line", as in the example: a̲i̲. See the description of the unicode character at http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/332/index.htm .

The problem is in the title of the page the underline is not directly under the letters it should be, but it shifted a bit to the right.

Thanks you

Changes to my initial post. It is not only in titles by everywhere. See: http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/shh/Wihindeboope ; the mention of Ga̲i̲ in the right box.

Thanks you

This probably depends on your browser, operating system, available fonts, etc...

On Mac OS X 10.7.3 with Firefox 11.0, I see the underlines under 'ai' mispositioned in the bits of sample text using Verdana font, but they seem positioned ok in most other places.

I saw a mention of this issue on the French Wikipedia from a Talk Page in 2011 as well. ersonally, I saw this "shifting" of the underscore on Firefox 3.6.28 on Windows 7. I also remarked today, that this shifting also occur when the underscore is used in a category's name.
