RESOLUTION
M38.4 (CD 10646-2):
Unanimous
WG 2 accepts the disposition of comments for the ballot on CD 10646-2 in document N2217, which reflects the results of discussion at this meeting M28, and instructs its project editor to prepare the final text of FCD 10646-2, including additional compatibility ideographs accepted for inclusion in Plane 2 at this meeting (per resolution M38.2 above), with assistance from the contributing editors, and to forward these documents to SC 2 secretariat for further processing in May 2000, with unchanged target dates.
RESOLUTION
M38.6 (Restriction of encoding space):
Unanimous
WG2 accepts the proposal in document N2175 towards removing the provision for Private Use Groups and Planes beyond Plane 16 in ISO/IEC 10646, to ensure internal consistency in the standard between UCS-4, UTF-8 and UTF-16 encoding formats, and instructs its project editor prepare suitable text for processing as a future Technical Corrigendum or an Amendment to 10646-1: 2000.
RESOLUTION
M38.7 (Additions to the BMP - Miscellaneous):
Unanimous
WG2 accepts to encode the following in the BMP of ISO/IEC 10646:
1) 17DD - KHMER SIGN LAAK, with the glyph as shown in document N2164.
2) 8 Cyrillic Sلmi characters, with the shapes as shown on page 4 of document N2173:
048A - CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER SHORT I WITH TAIL
048B - CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER SHORT I WITH TAIL
04C5 - CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER EL WITH TAIL
04C6 - CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER EL WITH TAIL
04C9 - CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER EN WITH TAIL
04CA - CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER EN WITH TAIL
04CD - CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER EM WITH TAIL, and,
04CE - CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER EM WITH TAIL.
3) 20B1 - PESO SIGN, with the shape as shown on page 1 of document N2161 (a P with two horizontal bars)
4)
237D - SQUARE FOOT, and,
234A - PROPERTY LINE
with shapes similar to what appear in document N2184.
NOTE: the above should be corrected to 23CD and 214A respectively. The error was discovered after the meeting by Dr. Ken Whistler -- Umamaheswaran.
5) 20B0 - GERMAN PENNY SYMBOL with shape as shown in document N2188.
WG2 further instructs its project editor to add these characters to the list of characters accepted for processing beyond the 2nd edition of ISO/IEC 10646-1 (based on resolution M36.19 - New character bucket M36).
RESOLUTION
M38.8 (Yi radicals):
Unanimous
WG2 provisionally accepts the five Yi radicals, their code positions, names and shapes, as shown in document N2207, subject to verification and feedback on these characters from the Chinese Yi experts.
RESOLUTION
M38.9 (Math Symbols):
Unanimous
WG2 provisionally accepts the 951 Mathematical Symbols for encoding in the BMP, as proposed in document N2191R. The US national body is invited to prepare a revised proposal reflecting feedback received from the experts group on the subject before the next meeting M39 in September 2000. WG2 intends to include this proposal in the working draft of the next Amendment to 10646-1: 2000 at the next meeting.
RESOLUTION

China
Abstains
WG2 provisionally accepts the proposed symbols described under items 1 through 12 in document N2195 for future encoding in the BMP. Their names, shapes and code positions are to be synchronized with the processing of Mathematical Symbols proposal (see resolution M38.9 above), based on feedback to the experts' group on this topic.
RESOLUTION
M38.11 (CJK compatibility ideographs from JIS X 0213):
China
Negative
WG2 accepts the proposal for 61 compatibility ideographs from Japan for future encoding in the BMP, at positions FA30 to FA6B, with the shapes and names as shown in document N2197. Japan is to provide additional information on these compatibility ideographs suitable for inclusion in the standard per discussion at meeting 38 (see also document N2142). WG2 further instructs its project editor to add these characters to the list of characters accepted for processing beyond the 2nd edition of ISO/IEC 10646-1 (based on resolution M36.19 - New character bucket M36).
RESOLUTION
M38.13 (Collection identifiers for Multilingual European Subsets (MES)):
Unanimous
WG2 accepts the request and instructs its editor to assign four collection identifiers for each of the Multilingual European Subsets - MES-1 (fixed collection), MES-2-(fixed collection), MES-3A (non-fixed collection) and MES-3B (fixed collection), as requested in document N2211, for inclusion in a future amendment to ISO/IEC 10646-1: 2000.
