Title: WG2 Consent Docket
Source: Ken Whistler

WG2 met in Tokyo, December 9-12, 2002, and took a number
of actions on current amendments to 10646-1 and 10646-2.

A few of the actions resulted in changes to the coding
or name of characters for which the UTC already has
approvals in hand. These need to be considered once again,
so that the UTC can formally go on record as accepting
exactly the same characters, code points, and names
for Unicode 4.0 as what will be published in 10646:2003.

The outstanding items which need consideration or
reconsideration are summarized below.

A. Code point changed for an already approved character.

U+060D  ARABIC DATE SEPARATOR    (moved from U+060E)
U+060E  ARABIC POETIC VERSE SIGN (moved from U+060D)
U+0615  ARABIC SMALL HIGH TAH    (moved from U+0659)

B. Character added, not yet approved by UTC

U+0B71  ORIYA LETTER WA

U+1D6B  LATIN SMALL LETTER UE

C. Name change for an already approved character.

U+035F  COMBINING DOUBLE MACRON BELOW

   (UTC approved COMBINING DOUBLE LOW LINE. This was
        not the result of a Tokyo WG2 decision, but is
        a mismatch between the FPDAM and the UTC decision.)

U+0658  ARABIC MARK NOON GHUNNA

   (was ARABIC NOON-GHUNNA in FPDAM, UTC approved
        ARABIC MARK NOON-GHUNNA, with hyphus)
        
U+0904  DEVANAGARI LETTER SHORT A

   (clerical correction from the formerly approved
        DEVANAGARI SHORT LETTER A)
        
U+FDFD  ARABIC LIGATURE BISMILLAH AR-RAHMAN AR-RAHEEM

   (was ARABIC LIGATURE BISMILLAH ARRAHMAN ARRAHIM)
   
D. Significant glyph change for an already approved character.

U+0B35  ORIYA LETTER VA

   (formerly approved glyph used for U+0B71 ORIYA LETTER WA,
    and glyph for VA changed to look like BA with circle)
