Opt Subject: PRI 536: U+1024 (ဤ) falsely appears in Musical Symbols Sup. [CHARTS]
Hello! In all Code Charts displaying the Musical Symbols Supplement block (1D250..1D281), the explanatory bullet for MUSICAL SYMBOL COMBINING FLAG-8 (1D252) reads as "creates 1024 ဤ th notes". The ဤ (MYANMAR LETTER II at U+1024) presumably slipped in accidentally.

Issue #1: For U+1D252, remove the ဤ character from the text in the bulleted point list as it should not be there. Issue #2: For Chisoi, U+16D98 should be in a subheading called Sign or Signs as it does not appear to be a full letter. Not really a big issue, but worth mentioning: U+1D1F7 could have an annotation pointing to U+A75C as it looks similar to it.

Opt Subject: 536 - U18.0 alpha charts: 6 new blocks, not 7 [CHARTS]
[Editorial suggestion] The presentation page for Unicode 18.0 delta charts (https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/Unicode-18.0/) is misleading: I don't understand why Miscellaneous Symbols Supplement, which adds 19 characters, is presented in yellow background, given it is an already existing block in Unicode 17.0. There should then be 6 blocks in yellow background, not 7. As well, the listed Armenian block should be marked with an asterisk(like CJK Unified Ideographs Extension D*), with all its representative glyphs updated to non-italicized forms for modern use especially on screen or public displays (the previous chart was in traditional handwritten style), in addition to the 3 addional small modifier letters. (This is according to the description "Blocks which also have significant glyph updates, as well as the character additions, are starred.") This suggests that Armenian fonts can legitimately use roman/italic style distinctions, without using distinct character encodings, and that the roman style should become the default.

Opt Subject: PRI 536 (U18.0a): Jurchen U+18E49 stroke count [SEW]
https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/Unicode-18.0/U180-18E00.pdf The Jurchen ideograph U+18E49 (NC:144.02) is shown with a radical/stroke index 3.1; this is a case where the second indice incoherently indicates the *residual* strokes count 1, instead of the *total* strokes count 4 (its Jurchen radical 3 has 3 strokes). It should indicate a radical/stroke index 3.3, exactly like U+18E4A (NC:023.02) which uses the same radical with a different single residual stroke below it, instead of above it.

Opt Subject: 536 (U18.0a): 1DB00–1DBFF line-height in list [CHARTS]
(Editorial only) https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/Unicode-18.0/U180-1DB00.pdf The list of characters at bottom of the chart shows Leibizian symbols with truncated bottom parts (they are not truncated in the chart itself).This list should use an increased line-height to avoid the problem (suggest 1.4em minimum, possibly 1.6em, not the usual ~1.25em suitable only for Basic Latin or Latin-1). This may be caused by the metrics of the temporary font used to generate this draft.

Tabel 22-1 shows currency symbols encoded in other blocks. Could we need to add other denominations of subunits in East Asia like U+00A2 ¢?

Opt Subject: Ambiguous line breaking for 02DF [PAG]
At least in Soviet tradition, people wrote “10˟” for optical magnification. IDK how to coin the rule. Options… 1. Just add a note: Sometimes “10˟” means optical magnification. To prevent breaking, insert a 2060 WJ between these characters. 2. Make a rule: If other characters provide an opportunity to break after BA, and do not provide before → do not break before. 3. Make a special class BX=Conditional Break Before for some or all six European BB’s. The rules are the same: do not break before if you see an opportunity after.
