Editorial
Committee - Unicode 3.2
[89-C1]
Consensus:
The UTC authorizes a public beta for Unicode 3.2.
IRG
[89-C2]
Consensus:
Forward Richard Cook's analysis of errors in the database field for the
Hanya Da Zidian to the IRG and request that they correct the errors.
[L2/01-417]
[89-C3] Consensus: The UTC authorizes the gathering of a list of ideographs to be submitted to the IRG as candidates for Extension C. [L2/01-417]
[89-C4] Consensus: The UTC is concerned that the 10646 standard could be introducing implementation problems by encoding multiple variants of Han characters, especially without indicating their relationships. [L2/01-417]
[89-C5] Consensus: The UTC requests that the IRG produce data that describes existing variants in Unihan and that they refrain from proposing the encoding of multiple variants in the future. The UTC requests that the IRG maintain two lists: one a list of unified Han characters that are candidates for encoding and a second list of variants with information on the character they are variants of. [L2/01-417]
[89-C6] Consensus: The UTC will ask WG2 to direct the IRG to indicate which proposed compatibility characters are duplicates of existing or proposed compatibility characters.
[89-M2] Motion: In the future the Unicode Standard and 10646 should use variant tags for distinguishing new simplified Chinese variants from their traditional counterparts. [L2/01-417]

Properties
- ZWJ
[89-C7]
Consensus:
Under ordinary circumstances, the ZWJ overrides stylistic protocols for
ligature control. The ZWJ is not required for general ligature control
and should only be used for linguistically important exceptions. [L2/01-415]
IETF
- Transliterating Unicode for IDN
[89-C8]
Consensus:
The UTC believes the transliteration approach to IDN is not viable. [L2/01-358]
Scripts
and New Characters
[89-C9]
Consensus:
The UTC favors the addition of the remaining Greek acrophonic numerals
rather than cloning the existing Greek letters. [L2/01-412]
[89-M3]
Motion:
Accept the following three Arabic characters for Parkari: [L2/01-427]
·U+06EE
ARABIC LETTER DAL WITH INVERTED V
·U+06EF
ARABIC LETTER REH WITH INVERTED V
·U+06FF

[89-M4]
Motion:
Add a policy (published in the appropriate manner) that characters will
not be advanced from accepted to published state if no font data or font
license is available in a format suitable for use in publication by the
Consortium. This is intended to synchronize with WG2 policy.

Reports - Casing
[89-C10]
Consensus:
The UTC defines a new property, soft dotted, and includes U+0268,
U+0456, and U+0458 in the list of characters with this property, and add
to Proplist.txt. [L2/01-441, 445]
[89-C11] Consensus: The UTC authorizes updating SpecialCasings.txt with the changes given in L2/01-445, section B.3, which will fix the Turkish mapping problems for i's.
[89-C12] Consensus: The UTC authorizes updating SpecialCasings.txt with the changes given in L2/01-445, section 3, which will change all the mappings to be in normalization form C (NFC).
[89-M6] Motion: The UTC authorizes making UTR #21 Case Mappings a Unicode Standard Annex (UAX) and further authorizes a proposed update based on L2/01-441 as amended in discussion. Note that the definitions are normative and the rest is informative.
