armenian hyphen for "basic"(typewriter) layout

replaces hyphen with Armenian hyphen.

The armenian layout (in the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/am) contains a regular hyphen "-" (0x2d) instead of Armenian hyphen "֊"(0x58a)
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_Alphabet

In every Armenian book Armenian hyphen symbol is used, not the regular one.
This is actually very important cause most people doesn't know that Armenian hyphen exists in Unicode thus they just use regular hyphen instead, which is not right though the symbols look similar, they are not the same, and there is a reason Armenian hyphen exists in Unicode charts.

I am attaching a simple patch.

Sorry, your patch is not applicable - the format is wrong. Could you please do "diff -u"? Thanks
Comment 2 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2012-01-21 01:03:01 UTC
Actually, it is simple enough. Manually applied. Thanks!

I completely forgot that there is also "basic" and not only "phonetic" layout and that patch should be submitted also for it.
I did the patch with diff -u. Hope it is ok.
