Marshallese has its own alphabet, which includes most ASCII letters, and adds on two types of diacritics or accents: a flat bar above some letters, and a comma below some letters.

Key mapping

In the Marshall Islands, many residents use a non-Unicode-compliant font to replace letters uncommon in Marshallese (such as X) with accented Marshallese letters.

Use jQuery.IME or the key-map inside jQuery.IME to convert Marshallese input into Unicode text.

Future

The Unicode Consortium has discussed creating codepoints for Marshallese letters which have a comma underneath them. Currently Marshallese text uses a similar but different letter in the Latvian language block.
