No, it's a script-level issue. The similar case of Arabic points is also a script-level issue. (Someone mentioned the Khmer inherent vowels U+17B4/17B5; that might be similar, but I'm less convinced because they are apparently only used for phonetic transcription.) Unlike TC/SC or other language-specific equivalences, mapping out Hebrew and Arabic points is absolutely trivial to implement, trivial to specify, and makes sense for all languages using the affected scripts. - -- David Hopwood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Home page & PGP public key: http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hopwood/ RSA 2048-bit; fingerprint 71 8E A6 23 0E D3 4C E5 0F 69 8C D4 FA 66 15 01 Nothing in this message is intended to be legally binding.
