Hoping you all have wonderful Christmas! By the way, I have not gotten answers to following, any kind soul please ....
- Can you email the list of Latin letters/symbols that Unicode discovered? - Can you also email list of letters/symbols that are not Latin but each has LATIN in its name? - Can you email the list of these letters/symbols as well, including names?

I spent some times with no luck on link as well as unicode.org, because I wanted to find: The list of Latin letters/symbols that Unicode has discovered. Here, a letter/symbol with LATIN in its name in Unicode/ISO is a Latin letter/symbol. And I call a "Latin letter/symbol" discovered by Unicode if it created the name before ISO in the standard otherwise discovered by ISO. Can you email the list of Latin letters/symbols that Unicode discovered? Can you also email list of letters/symbols that are not Latin but each has LATIN in its name? > The merger between Unicode and ISO 10646 caused a few character names in > Unicode to be changed to match the 10646 names. Can you email the list of these letters/symbols as well, including names?

You might read through at least the first 3 chapters of the Unicode Standard, plus the Scripts UAX. These are all online for free at unicode.org.

I can point you to http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0080.pdf , which includes a glyph for U+00AA, and http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2700.pdf , which includes a glyph for U+271D. I don't think it's necessary to post these glyphs to the public list. > Trying to know who among ISO and Unicode first created the names' list > for Latin-script is not an indication of obsession :-') > > So among Unicode and ISO/IEC, who first created ISO/IEC 8859-1 & > ISO/IEC 8859-2 letters/symbols names with each name with LATIN in it? Most of the characters in the various parts of ISO 8859 were originally standardized before Unicode or ISO 10646, so the names were probably either created by the ISO/IEC subcommittees responsible for those parts, or found in earlier standards and adopted as-is. The merger between Unicode and ISO 10646 caused a few character names in Unicode to be changed to match the 10646 names. -- Doug Ewell | Thornton, Colorado, USA | http://www.ewellic.org RFC 5645, 4645, UTN #14 | ietf-languages @ is dot gd slash 2kf0s
