The changes in Junicode 2.222 are mostly to support a new utility, pua2ot, which converts text containing Medieval Unicode Font Initiative (MUFI) characters encoded in the Unicode Private Use Area (PUA), MUFI entities, or both to standard Unicode styled with Junicode’s OpenType features. The result of this conversion is text that is far more accessible than the original: the utility may help with compliance with EU acessibility regulations, the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, and the like. Pua2ot is a JavaScript utility that comes in three flavors: a GUI version (drag the file pua2ot/gui/pua2ot-gui.html into any up-to-date browser), an embedded version (which will convert text in the body element of any web page it is embedded in), and a Node module (enabling users to write their own utilities). The utility, with documentation, is in the directory pua2ot, and each flavor comes with demo and test files. Because most users will not need this utility, it is not included in the .zip archive, but it can be downloaded from the repository directory pua2ot. Be sure to create a directory pua2ot/fonts, and copy the woff2 versions of the Junicode VF variable font into it before trying out the utility.
