Hi,
Ignoring all compatibility characters; ignoring everything that has gone
before; and considering only present and future characters (that is,
characters currently under consideration for inclusion in Unicode, and
characters which will be under consideration in the future), which of
the following is the PRINCIPLE which decides whether or not a character
is suitable:
(A) A proposed character will be rejected if its glyph is identical in
appearance to that of an extant glyph, regardless of its semantic
meaning, or
(B) A proposed character will be rejected if its semantic meaning is
identical to that of an extant character, regardless of the appearance
of its glyph, or
(C) A proposed character will be rejected if either (A) or (B) are true, or
(D) None of the above
?
Although this is a question about the future, no clairvoyance is
required, since I am asking about the principle behind decisions, not
about specific characters.
