Enconding a flammable sign and others

2016-09-05 Thread eduardo marin 
I'm really surprised this isn't already encoded but while we are at it let's 
also encode a symbol for non-ioninzing radiation, laser hazard, explosion 
hazard, strong magnetic field, chocking hazard, corrosion, slippery floor, 
oxidising, carcinogen and chemical weapon symbols just to name the most 
relevant. Other ones would include uv light, frezzing hazard, hand in the 
middle of cogs, foot or hand under machinery, battery hazard, washing hands, 
fragile symbol, crane hazard, suffocation, high temeperatures and probably some 
I missed.

Why isn't MUSICAL SYMBOL NULL NOTEHEAD default ignorable?

2016-09-05 Thread Charlotte Buff 
It has just come to my attention that U+1D159 MUSICAL SYMBOL NULL NOTEHEAD
is not default ignorable, even though it has no visible glyph appearance
and no advance width in text, just like the various Hangul jamo fillers
that *are* default ignorable. Is there a technical reason for this or is it
just an oversight?

named character sequences foor tally marks

2016-09-05 Thread eduardo marin 
I love the proposal to add western tally marks because it only occuies two code 
points for a techically equivalent solution: 
http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2016/16065-tally-marks.pdf

L2/16-065 (Proposal to encode two Western-style tally 
marks)
www.unicode.org
1 L2/16-065 Title: Proposal to encode two Western-style tally marks Source: Ken 
Lunde (Adobe) & Daisuke MIURA Status: Individual contribution Action: For ...

However this proposal isn't complete unless we can identify tally marks 2, 3 
and 4 easily and the simplest way is to add named character sequences, where we 
just repeat tally mark one an n number of times.

Yep, I wasnʼt aware! With this in mind, there will be much less hassles.
Thanks!

I didn't accuse FAZ or anyone else of calumny, or any sort of malicious 
intent. Hanlon's Razor applies here.
