Quite a few of books with texts in n�shu have been published when this was a
hot topic, now more than a decade old, under titles such as "Chinese
herstory". Actually, since during their first discovery after the 1949
revolution such n�shu texts were burned out of fear that they were subversive,
almost all extent texts are new and/or due to people newly learning this
script, as much as for tourist than other reasons. Wouldn't expect it to be
encoded soon!
