I was looking at the pipeline for something else, and for the first

ballot” and two characters in it.
Those two characters changed status as of December 4, when the 
disposition of comments for CD3 was posted. They will not be part of the 
DIS ballot. The pipeline has now been updated to reflect that change of 
status.


So IIUC while technically people are free to submit a document to the
ISO separately without submitting to UTC, it has always been the
practice to my knowledge to get a character approved by the UTC first.


That is a preferred process, but doesn't always occur. The most obvious 
exception is that large new CJK repertoire additions are developed by 
the IRG and often go into ballot in ISO before the UTC takes a formal 
decision to approve them. CJK Extension G has now been approved for 13.0 
by the UTC, but the entire block was listed in the pipeline for some 
time as "not accepted by UTC, but in active ISO technical ballot" once 
Extension G went into CD balloting.

proofreading symbols (Korrekturzeichen) according to DIN 16511

2019-12-26 Thread S. Wascher via Unicode
Hello,

after some clumsy and therefore unsuccessful efforts to find equivalents to the 
proofreading symbols defined in DIN 16511 I joined this list to ask where I can 
fin these symbols or lookalikes of them in Unicode.
Here a webpage I found that lists these symbols and their meanings:
http://www.typovia.at/index.php/desktop-publishing/din-normen/din-16511-korrekturzeichen

I am specially interested in the shapes for "Absatz" and "Wortzwischenraum".

Hope you can help me, at least pointing me towards the best place to ask or 
look.

Thanks,

Simon
