Subject: Unicode 6.1 Errata


Digesting the ballot comments concerning the FDIS for the
3rd edition, I found some that are applicable to Unicode 6.1 as well.

 

- 8 missing glyphs for H sources in the main CJK block. These
corresponds to the newly added Big-5 entries.

5A0C HB1-AE5C

5DC7 HB2-F445

6501 HB2-EFD5

6CCC HB1-AA63

722C HB1-AAA6

73FA HB2-D673

9E01 HB2-F8E3

9EAE HB2-ECB2

 

- 1 missing glyph for T source in CJK Extension-A

488C TF-2872
 

- U source attached to the wrong character

UTC-0600 is currently attached to U+2A8AB (original info came from UTR-45
which is in error and was duplicated in Unihan and the chart).
It should be 2A8A7.


----------------------

The 8 missing HK-Big5 glyphs baffle me. For Big 5, I am using a font designed
for the HK market (MingLiu_HKSCS) which was provided to us by Microsoft with
a special name for (MingLiu_HKSCS For UTC) to allow side by side install with
the equivalent system font. If I use the regular Windows 7 provided font, all
these glyphs show. So I would need a new font from Microsoft to fix this.
I could temporarily use the Windows 7 font, but because it is not versioned
it can’t be a long term solution (any windows update could silently replace
that font). Alternative is to use another versioned Ming style font (KenL?).
