Issue: Now I can type words from Nigerian native languages on my PC, but I cannot save these words into my custom dictionary. Every time I tried to save words with Hausa, Ìgbo or Yorùbá characters, I get a message that: “The custom dictionary is full. The word was not added.”
Solution: The custom dictionary is a notepad that is defaulted to ANSI encoding, to save non ANSI characters, like Hausa, Ìgbo or Yorùbá words that includes Ẹẹ, Ịị, Ọọ, Ụụ or tonal marks, you will need to change the custom dictionary encoding from ANSI to Unicode.
