I noticed that in Yuan Jiahua's authoritative overview of Chinese dialects, _Hanyu Fangyan Gaiyao_ (2nd ed., 1980), he uses left-stemmed mirrors of the ordinary right-stemmed tone marks to indicate tone sandhi, the unmutated tone having a right stem, immediately followed by the mutated tone with a left stem (I can send you a scan off-list if you want). The examples he gives include marks that look identical to U+02EA and U+02EB, as well as many other left- and right-stemmed tone marks that are not currently encoded in Unicode. Are these the subject of your proposal by any chance ? Andrew
