Description of Issue:

The Unicode Consortium is conducting a review of the assignment of Identifier_Type to existing characters of non-ideographic scripts listed as Recommended in UAX31. There are over a thousand non-Han characters with Identifier_Type=Recommended, for which feedback received suggests that the existing classification may be inappropriate for the intended purpose of defining a recommended repertoire for default identifiers to be used for orthographies that are in widespread everyday common use for living languages.

The Unicode Consortium is interested in obtaining additional information that would help improve the assignment of Identifier_Type. For details, background, and further information please see the review document.
