I think you will actually find little trace of the quotation mark for
Egyptian transliteration in published work although I look forward to
hearing of examples Dean! The modern Egyptian Ayin convention is pretty much
established by end 19th century. Modern computer software all uses this
form.

This is one example where colour support in fonts would be useful. A useful
addition to the OpenType specifications if any readers here have influence
on such matters.
Something I have a vested interest in with my own focus on Ancient Egyptian

this experience, I'm
convinced current mainstream user requirements go beyond the 'Gardiner set'
yet the extended set (as given in the proposal) is also inappropriate. Hence
my comment above.
Incidentally. Apart from the control characters, what problems did UTC have
with the proposal for the 700+ that need to be addressed in a revision?

Before you ask, no he has not yet attempted any Paleo-Hebrew texts.
I'm genuinely interested in why Phoenician should not be regarded as a

A few (of many possible) points from a software
developers perspective on Phoenician proposal.
1. Assignment of Unicode characters is only a small
part of working with ancient scripts. For instance markup schemes such as XML to
distinguish languages, ideoms, dialects etc. is essential to de
