The Unicode Technical Committee has posted two new Public Review Issues
today. Details are on the following web page:
http://www.unicode.org/review/
The closing date for both of these issues is August 9, 2005.
Please see the page for links to discussion and relevant documents.
Briefly, the new issues are:
69 Proposed Update UAX #24, Script Names
This is an initial update for Unicode 5.0.0 which proposes the addition of
an appendix of iconic script indicators, derivative from the usage of last
resort font missing glyph forms. Additional updates will be needed to
reflect the planned additions of scripts to 5.0.0. Those will be in a
subsequent draft.
70 Proposed Draft UTS #37, Registration of Ideographic Variation Sequences
The UTC approved the development of a Unicode Technical Standard
establishing a registry of variation sequences for Ideographic characters.
The UTC recognizes that the needs of various user communities for such
variation sequences cannot be accommodated by a single, unified collection
of sequences. The purpose of the registry is to ensure that multiple
collections can coexist without compromising the interchangeability of
texts using them. This proposed draft Unicode Technical Standard describes
the operation of the registry.
If you have comments for official UTC consideration, please post them by
submitting your comments through our feedback & reporting page:
