    Hello,

    I am new on this list and I have a question about very special characters and the standard Unicode v4. I sought much the answer to this question at  www.unicode.org but without success.
    Can somebody say to me if the characters of the 4 following standards ISO 5426 -2:1996, ISO 6861:1996, ISO 8957:1996 and ISO 10754:1996 are integrated in Unicode V4?

    In detail, they are the following standards :
    - ISO 5426-2: 1996 Information and documentation - Extension of the Latin alphabet coded character set for bibliographic information Interchange - Part 2: Latin characters used in minor European languages and obsolete typography
    - ISO 8957:1996 Information and documentation - Hebrew alphabet coded character sets for bibliographic information interchange.
    - ISO 10754: 1996 Information and documentation - Extension of the Cyrillic alphabet coded character set for non-Slavic languages for bibliographic information interchange.
    - ISO 6861: 1996 Information and documentation  Glagolitic alaphabet codes character set for  bibliographic information interchange
    I believe the place to look at is here :

    http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.0/References.pdf

    At first sight, these all served as sources references to ISO 10646, except the Glagolitic whose script is part of Amd 1 to ISO 10646:2003 (an upcoming version of Unicode, coming after 4.0 thus).  I believe (but I have not studied this in depth) that the Amd1 proposal differs slighly from ISO 6861 in as far as some glyph variants from ISO 6881 are not proposed in Amd 1.



    Cordialement,
