As the actual author of that Core WG text, mea culpa. But I was basing
my remarks on things said on this list.

Dear Unicoders,
I was recently pointed to the document "Character Entities: An XML Core WG View
A consensus statement from the XML Core WG as of 2002 October 23"
available at http://www.w3.org/XML/Core/2002/10/charents-20021023. In
the last paragraph, it says:

True enough. Sorry if I used up band
This brings up an interesting point. Whereas it may not be cost-effective to
translate all Unicode character names into different languages, it may well
be useful to at least translate the Unicode property aliases and property
value aliases into different languages. That also includes the block nam

Precisely the same problem in portuguese. :-(

Is it possible to regenerate the Unihan database with the correct

Mandarin readings ?
Certainly in the Unicode 4.0 time-frame we can improve things. I can't
make any guarantees, however.

Related to that, there is the online ICU Unicode browser, e.g.
http://oss.software.ibm.com/cgi-bin/icu/ub/utf-8/?ch=20AC
(Note: once we get ICU 2.4 out the door this month, it will be getting a
facelift to show the property alias names.)

Please see and comment on my first rough draft proposal for the new CBM character.

Question: Is there a better name for this character?
Would there be any use for it in non-Indic scripts?

Hello Raymond,
If you have Chinese Office XP and the font in question (Simsun Founder
Extended), then you already have all of the contents of
http://i18nwithvb.com/surrogate_ime/ , in Chinese -- the translation on the
web site is just a handy adjunct for people who do not understand Chinese.

I can't remember what this was or

Whilst writing a CJK pinyin lookup utility over the weekend I noticed that for
some CJK ideographs in the Unihan database that have multiple Mandarin readings,
the secondary reading(s) have been wrongly associated with adjacent or nearby

Thanks. With so many warnings on these pages, I wonder what I am free to use !
In fact it seems that the cross reference to Kangxi and the Chinese
Dictionary is already in unihan.txt.
