Hiiaka

The name survives in scholarly transliteration. Hiiaka is the standard Polynesian romanisation, documented in academic sources — “patron goddess of Hawaiʻi”. Because the spelling uses only Latin letters, the form is the same in both ASCII and Unicode.

No indigenous writing system is securely attested for individual polynesian names. The form shown is a modern scholarly transliteration.

ASCII Constraint

hiiaka

The plain hiiaka form is identical to the Unicode restoration. Because this name is already written in Latin letters, no diacritics, stress, or script information were lost — only capitalization differs.

Unicode Restoration

Hiiaka
