I am trying to add Thai letters in HTMLInput value with javascript, but when I send each letter they are not combined together. For example, I am sending 'ท' and ' ี' and want to see 'ที', instead, I'm seeing 'ท ี'. They are not merging like 'ทืืืืืืื' they stand together like 'ท ื ื ื ื ื ื ื ื ื'.
I am taking Google Input Tools for example in this subject (https://www.google.com/inputtools/try/).
Any ideas would be very helpful. Thanks
The character is not a combination of ท and ี. The second character you have posted is a string of length 2. If you are copy-pasting from somewhere you've probably copied the space before it.
console.log(" ี".length)
console.log(
Array.from(" ี", c => c.codePointAt(0))
) // [32, 3637]
// 32 is for spaceThe second character in ที a non-spacing mark ี. These non-spacing mark characters always combine with the character that precedes it. So, it's hard to copy them or write them as a literal.
console.log(Array.from("ที")) // ['ท', 'ี']
console.log("ี") // this is the second character, it's overlapping with "
console.log(Array.from("ที", c => c.codePointAt(0))) // [3607, 3637]
// string literal with Unicode escapes.
// 0e17 and 0e35 are hex for 3607, 3637
console.log("\u0e17\u0e35") If you want to paste it in an input, click on the Copy button on this page:
