PCs and modern browsers have no problems with the character we use.  Iphones and Android phones are not full UTF-8 so our character U+A78C example: ꞌ does not display on these platforms and it doesn't look like Apple or Google will fix this anytime soon.  I think e-mailing you the file will work best.  The glottal stop is very common in our language so you can find it in almost every example sentence in a text.

I'm not certain by what you mean by the inputdictionaryfile.  I will send the jar file which has the dictionary folder in it that includes DictionaryForMIDs.properties.

Thanks for your willingness to take a look.

Nice program. Fieldworks and Pathway give me a good jar and also dictionary file for Android except for one thing, we have a special unicode character for glottal stops that is not in the standard characters packaged in mobile browsers. It shows up as a box in the programs. The character basically looks like an apostrophe. I've tried switching the character out in Fieldworks but when I export it, it always returns. I think the writing system setup for our language may be causing the problem. When I find/replace in the dictionary files for your program, the file sizes change and when displayed in android version everything gets garbled up. Is it specifically the apostrophe that is messing up the java programming? Anyone have any ideas for either getting the old character to appear on mobiles or for swapping in an apostrophe? Apostrophe is probably preferred so that dictionary can easily be searched.
