[tei-council] Query to TEI-C about encoding texts in Coptic

[Kevin Hawkins]

I don't read enough French to know for sure, but it appears that the 
people who make that font also make a keyboard layout that works a bit 
like CJK layouts, where you type in transliteration and it converts to 
the characters you want:

Alternatively, there's 
http://ucbclassics.dreamhosters.com/djm/coptic.html and 
https://sites.google.com/site/pisakho/fonts that each explain other 
input methods.

(I found all of this at 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coptic_alphabet#External_links .)
