Syriac diacritics
From User talk:Rua
I added a combining diaeresis filter to "arc" and "syc", but it does not seem to work: ܐܪ̈ܡܝܐ should produce a link to ܐܪܡܝܐ. The other diacritics I added work fine. Do you know what is wrong? Does the combining diaeresis somehow have a special meaning in a square bracket block in Lua regular expressions?
It is definitely the right character U+0308. I tested it to make sure, and u(0x0308)
produces the same character that is in the Syriac word above.
There is probably a bug in Lua's regex implementation. I moved the combining diaeresis to the beginning of the bracket block and now it works. I tested it and it doesn't work in any other position.
