Michael Everson raises some interesting points.
William.
If CENELEC wishes to standardize a set of icons, they will do so. If they have a need to interchange data using those icons, they will (if they are wise) come to us an ask to encode them. If they want to use the Private Use Area before they do that, they will.
Perhaps I may explain the situation?
No, thank you. If CENELEC wants to propose characters to the Unicode Standard, they can contact us. I'd be interested in helping, if they had a good case. But I'm not looking for extra work right now.
Now, I have never heard of the MES-2 whatever that is. However, I do not have deep knowledge of the various standards which exist. Could you possibly say some more about MES-2 please.
