Yorùbá sample text (NFC)
Below is a sample Yoruba text. The Unicode text is normalized, and uses Unicode Normalization Form C (NFC). The sample text has been enlarged to allow you to easily test the effect of font and font rendering systems on Yoruba text. I have used NFC since the Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Normalization draft recommends the use of NFC. There is an alternate sample using Normalization Form D (NFD).
Using the dot below diacritic
