Vowel signs
Each sign is shown on a dotted circle (U+25CC), so its combining behaviour is visible directly rather than taken on trust from a table.

| ◌ᨗ | ᨀᨗ | ki | U+1A17 Mn · ccc 230 | UCD canonical combining class 230 (Above) |
| ◌ᨘ | ᨀᨘ | ku | U+1A18 Mn · ccc 220 | UCD canonical combining class 220 (Below) |
| ◌ᨙ | ᨀᨙ | ké | U+1A19 Mc · ccc 0 | Spacing combining mark; the UCD assigns no combining class. See the rendering conformance page. Latin `é`, NOT `e`. Taken from attested pairs in data/corpus/bugwiki-pairs.json rather than from the Unicode character name: Sapéda, Sulawési, Baruné, Watamponé, Sawérigading, Éropa, Lébarepuluq and Komputeréq all write `é` with this sign. PROVISIONAL — Wikipedia is community practice, not an authority. See openQuestions.vowel-sign-e-ae. |
| ◌ᨚ | ᨀᨚ | ko | U+1A1A Mc · ccc 0 | Spacing combining mark; the UCD assigns no combining class. See the rendering conformance page. |
| ◌ᨛ | ᨀᨛ | ke | U+1A1B Mn · ccc 0 | Non-spacing mark, but the UCD assigns no combining class. See the rendering conformance page. Latin `e`, NOT `ae`. `ae` came from the Unicode character name and was wrong: about thirty independent attested pairs in data/corpus/bugwiki-pairs.json write plain `e` with this sign (Bekasi, Wettu, Peddang, Jeppang, Halaleng, Balangeng, Irelang, Banjaramaseng and more).
