Mapping Files
These mapping files were created for converting data to Unicode. Some, but not all, will also convert data from Unicode back to the legacy encoding. These mapping files are for use with TECkit applications. You can do this using the program TECkit or SILConverters 3.1.1.

Chad
Legacy font encoding: Tchad2000 and Chad95 fonts
Compiled (and uncompiled) conversion tables for each set of fonts is included here, which map Tchad2000 and Chad95 encoded data to Unicode (not vice versa). Although each mapping file is bi-directional, conversion from Unicode back into the legacy encoding isn't recommended, as there would be some poor diacritic choices back in the legacy encoding. Each mapping file is currently only intended to support legacy to Unicode conversion.

PitchContours
Legacy font encoding: PitchContour fonts (PitchContours, PitchContoursSymbol, Contour, Cont12, Contour4, Contour6)
Compiled (and uncompiled) conversion tables for each set of fonts is included here, which maps legacy encoded data to "Unicode" (SIL's Corporate PUA) and vice versa.
These are experimental mapping files for the PitchContours fonts. Nine codepoints for the pitches were placed in SIL Corporate PUA at U+F1F1..U+F1F9. Each of these mapping files require the use of Charis SIL or Doulos SIL version 4.1 or greater. They will turn into contours if used in Graphite applications. It is unlikely that any other fonts will contain these codepoints.
It is possible these mapping files will not work for you since the fonts sometimes were used inconsistently. At times data from one melody was placed on two lines in order to make it stretched out. With that anomaly, the brackets in the fonts were also much larger to span several lines.
In order for these mapping files to work, data for a melody must be on one line, it cannot be on two separate lines or the data will not be converted properly. If you put your data on several lines we have no way to automatically convert that data for you. It is also impossible to maintain the large size of the brackets in an encoding conversion. If you wish to have large brackets you will have to manually go through your document and resize the brackets by changing the font size.

SIL PUA to Unicode 6.0 Mapping
The Unicode 6.0 standard includes 218 (not including Hebrew) characters that were previously allocated to codepoints in the Private Use Area by SIL’s PUA committee.
All processes (input methods, mappings) that create Unicode data should be revised to generate the proper Unicode values instead of PUA codes.
If you have data that contains these PUA codes, it should be updated by replacing each PUA character with its official Unicode counterpart. This will facilitate data interchange and the use of standard fonts and software.
| SIL PUA to Unicode 6.0 Mapping file (SIL PUA 6.0) Lorna A. Priest, 2011-03-21 Download "SILPUAtoUnicode60Mapping.zip", ZIP archive, 6KB [301 downloads] |
Note
Charis SIL and Doulos SIL fonts currently only support Unicode 5.1. Therefore, unless you have fonts which support the Unicode 5.2 or 6.0 codepoints you may wish to wait to update your PUA mapping until Charis SIL and Doulos SIL are updated.

The Unicode 4.0 standard includes 28 characters that were previously allocated to codepoints in the Private Use Area by SIL’s PUA committee. Those PUA codes were supported in pre-release versions of the Doulos SIL font, and generated by Keyman and other input methods and by legacy-to-Unicode mappings created prior to the release of Unicode 4.0.
The final release of Doulos SIL, however, supports the official Unicode 4.0 code, and these will be the character codes supported in other fonts in the future. All processes (input methods, mappings) that create Unicode data should be revised to generate the proper Unicode values instead of PUA codes.

Symbol-encoded font to codepage 1252 transliterator
As discussed in Display Issues – FAQ, Microsoft Word data that is formatted using a symbol-encoded font such as SIL Galatia or SIL IPA93 is stored using a range of PUA characters, typically U+F020 .. U+F0FF. When using to create an 8-bit plain-text version of the data, such PUA characters are converted to question marks ('?'). One solution is to use this Unicode-to-Unicode mapping file, called a transliterator, to convert the PUA character codes to codepage 1252 before saving to plain text.
