Kurdish Keyboard Layout issues!

Hi apple developer on macosx,

We are very thankful that you have added Kurdish keyboard to your core system. But we have some issues on it. I've tried to contact your team with bugs, email and unofficial irc channel on Freenode. It all seems useless for me. We have standard table for kurdish sorani on all other OS "linux, chromium, windows + iOS as well. They all use the same standard that was approved by KRG (Kurdistan Regional Government). Please either correct your own Sorani Kurdish with the same unicode table or take it from made by KRG's layout.

In these forums you are only talking to other users like yourself, so you should continue to request the feature you want via those other channels, including

In the meantime, does the keyboard available from this source meet your standards? (Your pictures are too small for me to tell.)

Also it is easy to modify existing keyboards if necessary via the Ukelele app:

Ditto @sianariman.


Apple developers, I am the author of iOS keyboard and we were involved in standardising both the encodings and keyboard layouts. The difference is minor, but I personally still use the layout mentioned by @sianariman because of the slight layout difference with the macOS provided ckb keyboard.


It would be great to use the system keyboard (as Sia said) and it would mean one less issue for us to try and continue with our standardization efforts. It also means Sia does not need to maintain the semi defacto Kurdish keyboard on macOS.


Once a similar one hits iOS I would also take down my keyboard.


Kind regards

Hi,
The maps is here
http://unicode.ekrg.org/maps.html
and the standard one is
http://unicode.ekrg.org/download/KuKeyboard1.3.zip
or
https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/38043/kurdish-keyboard-layout
Both are officially from KRG and approved by (Kurdish institute for language in Erbil). I know here is just for user support. But as i said above i've tried all these ways (bugs, feedback ....etc) didn't even got an answer!
Regards
