Missing Hawaiian Character: ʻ about public-sans HOT 9 CLOSED

It’s much better. I think the vertical shift compared with the single quotation mark helps.

BTW U+02BC ʼ should use the same design as U+02BB ʻ but rotated. It currently looks like a condensed single quotation mark.

Gonna tweak a bit, merge in and we can go from there. Definitely better than where it was (which was nothing!).

I will absolutely add this. Mahalo!

Working on this here: #51
I'll have some questions for you as I go — and I'd appreciate it if you could test it before we merge it in.

I don’t think making it smaller than the single quotation mark is a good idea. At smaller sizes or at a distance it just becomes a dot-like blob.

In many fonts it looks exactly like the single quotation mark, which Libertine Linux correctly aims to avoid but with the wrong idea.

Would a semi-circle slightly with a rectangle, instead of a thinning diagonal with a square, larger than the single quotation mark be better?

@moyogo I thought I would dislike the stylistic difference between an angled quote and a rounded 'okina, but I actually kinda like this. It gets the distinction across and has some resonance with the other letterforms (like the tail of the l). Thoughts?

Yeah, the vertical shift helps a lot. I think most fonts do an upward shift, but Iʻm partial to the Libertine-ish downward shift.

As long as the ʻokina has a distinct 6 shape it should be fine. The curved tops helps with that as well. I would not recommend using the rectangle approach mentioned earlier.

I made a pen that lists all the Hawaiian supported Google Fonts I could find as an example.
