    The Thesaurus Linguae Graecae, based at the University of
    California/Irvine, has been working on the issue of additional
    characters needed for classics, particularly Greek. TLG made a proposal
    for metrical symbols which was approved by the UTC last November; see
    http://www.tlg.uci.edu/final/metricalsymbolsbrief.pdf and also
    http://www.unicode.org/alloc/Pipeline.html (look for "metrical
    symbols"). The metrical long is represented as U+2013 while a new
    metrical breve has been established at U+2692.
