James Kass, > U+E000 COMBINING BLACK BLOB? Censors would probably love it.
It is a much more universal solution than the one that the censors really wanted. COMBINING EXPLITIVE DELETE The character would be inserted after all words and delete them if they were on a proscribed list of forbidden words. The rendering program would use the language of the text plus the reader's language(s) and use them to do a language explicit look up. The idea was dropped because they did not want to add the tables of the required words to delete in any publications such as the Unicode book. It was like the US telecommunications act which set fines for transmitting its set of proscribed words including in programs that were designed to filter the words out of text. Carl
