Just FYI, the control codes were a rather controversial feature of that proposal. It would also be worth surveying (again) the use of controls in existing Egyptian implementations. > I understand the UTC position was in favour of coding a basic > (partial-Gardiner) character set but deferring the larger corpus > and control elements.

UTC at last check was still in favor of encoding the Gardiner set, minus control codes, just as soon as someone is able to come up with a revised proposal for the 700+ characters. Funding and time are the current inhibitors to work on the proposal, as I understand it. And I'm afraid at this point, Egyptian is nowhere near being encoded. Rick
