Define sequence for ʻOkina / MODIFIER LETTER TURNED COMMA (U+02BB) #58
Comments
There already is a keystroke sequence for the ʻokina, in modletters, though I will very quickly agree that it's a pretty lousy one if you type it frequently. ʻOkina is Unicode U+02BB MODIFIER LETTER TURNED COMMA, which can be accessed with Similarly, consider this quote from the TeXBook (source at https://ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/knuth/dist/tex/texbook.tex):

It'd be nice to have a standard key sequence for the ʻOkina, a character used to write Hawaiian. The question is what key sequence.
I'm personally using
<grave> <grave>
. It's easy to type and mnemonic. Unfortunately that's already defined in this repository to be U201C. I don't know how people would feel about redefining something: there are other definitions that also input U201C.The Hawaiian input method on Windows rebinds the apostrophe to mean ʻOkina. That'd be an argument to use the apostrophe key somehow.
It'd be smart to get suggestions from folks who write Hawaiian regularly. I'm not one.
