The present Unicode proposal for the Avestan script [L2/06-335 = N3178] is the result of several years of negotiations among Iranianists in Europe and Iran and it meets, in my view, all requirements that have been discussed. It would be a huge step forward if this could now be approved by the UTC, thus providing the basis for a Unicode based rendering of the complete Avestan corpus we have stored on the TITUS server. All the best, J. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof.Dr. Jost Gippert Vergleichende Sprachwissenschaft | tel. +49- 69- 798 2 5054 Universitaet Frankfurt | (sekr.) +49- 69- 798 2 3139 Postfach 11 19 32 | fax. +49- 69- 798 2 2873 D-60054 Frankfurt | gippert@em.uni-frankfurt.de http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
