In fact, I found a big nothing!
Moreover, the language name, "Yi", does not help with search engines: it is
so short and a common Chinese surname, so a lot of unrelated stuff comes up.
I would prefer something in Western languages, however if you have URLs to
Chinese stuff I should, very theoretically, be able to read it; and if it is
something about the script, I espect a quantity of tables and pictures.
I would be happy, at least, to see bitmaps of all those "YI SILLABLES" and
"YI RADICALS" that have been added in Unicode.
I'd also welcome references to paper books (if they are not collector's
items).
Ciao. Marco
