Tulu-Tigalari is now in Unicode 16! 🎉 🙌 After 15+ years of research by @virtualvinodh and me, this beautiful script is finally encoded with all its nuances. Big thanks to @a_srinidhi, @sridatta_a, and @unicode Technical Committee for their incredible support over the years.

And a few more #DutchIJ's from the museum, to wrap things up!

The pre-packed (brand) item gives the grocery store a definitively different face. A couple more colourful #DutchIJ's

A selection of #DutchIJ's, spotted during a visit at the Kruideniers Museum in Utrecht - specialist grocery stores originally for 'dry' food. Grocers were small independent entrepreneurs. At the end of the 19th century the pre-packaged, factory made, branded product was born.

Some tiles are printed, or cut, with an offset and unfortunately both #DutchIJ's are affected, which cuts off their descending /J tail. I suspect these tiles are not original, as commonly these were made out of wood. Luckily we still have the board and the instructions 💕

The game includes two #DutchIJ's tiles. Note that the alphabet order finishes with /X /IJ /Z and does not contain the letter /Y. The #DutchIJ's are beautifully illustrated on the board in the words IJSKAR (ice cream truck) and RADIJSJE (radice).

Very happy to have found this Dutch junior scrabble boardgame, including the #DutchIJ. I knew these existed but never came across one, until last week. This particular edition is from 1956 and contains a double-sided board, one for ages 5-6 and from 7 and up.

...but throughout keeps returning to constructing letters. And it includes many examples of the #DutchIJ Enjoy!

The book gets quite technical at times, elaborating on perspective foreshortening, decor, paints and special spray technology...

The book is a contribution to deepening the art of composing good shop window advertising and a methodical manual for producing shop window placards, price cards, eye-catchers and decors for the benefit of all those who are practically involved in this and education. #DutchIJ
