A lot of time ago, someone on this list mentioned a language, written in the
Cyrillic alphabet, which employed letter "Q", taken from the Latin alphabet.
Which language is it?

How is the status of this "Q" in Unicode: is it still uni

Yes, it is, and I am not certain that Mark's "strong" suspicion is
correct because I have seen a lot of data. But I'll be asking

GB 18030 is aligned to ISO 10646, which does not define the semantic
properties that Unicode does.

For what its worth I did not think of doing anything with the YODs because

Sure I know it could (and will ) be implement by a mapping table. But you
still need to know what U+4ff3a to define such mapping table, right ? and the
mapping table will still be part of the software package, right ? And the user
still won't get your new version of mapping table untill they upgra

When is case conversion a panic situation? If you can't recognize the
character, then just don't convert it. All unassign
