12. Best Practices

1. Always save documents as plain text, .docx, or .pdf (embed fonts if sharing).
2. Do not convert to legacy “Visual Geez” fonts – you’ll lose Unicode compatibility.
3. Use Word’s Find/Replace to fix common phonetic typos (e.g., replace s+h with sh before conversion if needed).
4. For long documents, type first in English mode, then switch to Geez for Ethiopic sections.

Practical advice for developers and content creators

• Update to Unicode-aware libraries and enable NFC normalization when storing and comparing text.
• Use updated Ethiopic fonts that implement the recommended glyphs and mark positioning.
• Provide migration scripts to convert legacy encodings or private-use characters to the new code points.
• Test rendering across major platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS) and common browsers to catch shaping or fallback issues.
