    Briefly, the new issue is:

    Issue #168: Two New Provisional Properties for Characters in Indic Scripts
    http://www.unicode.org/review/#pri168

    The UTC is considering the addition of two new, enumerated provisional
    character properties for Indic scripts: Indic_Syllabic_Category and
    Matra_Placement. These are to assist in the analysis and processing of
    syllables for various Brahmi-derived scripts, providing classificatory
    information that is not easy to extract or derive for all of the Indic
    scripts in the standard. Feedback is welcome on the construction of the
    proposed properties, the details of the proposed assignment of values
    for characters, and on the question of the usefulness of defining such
    properties.

    If you have comments for official UTC consideration, please post them by
