> How about the Latin Letters Tresillo and Cuatrillo? Any movementon that front?
I've had them on my list of things to propose. I was trying to find more samples of tresillo to get a better idea of range of typographic variation, and had just started on that when that work got interrupted by other life events such as moving. I still need to follow up on that.
Oh, yes, pictures of the characters...
Some samples of cuatrillo and tresillo can be found at http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=RecentCuatrilloUse
I'm following this as well. Whether they are casing is of interest. For my part I wonder if the quatrillo and tresillo are related to modified q and c or to a Latin abbreviations of some kind. The name leads us to 4 and 3 of course but regarding their origins, k' < q and q' < c makes some sense. Tresillo might be U+0188 for instance and cuatrillo, hm, might be U+0261. Though neither of those unifications is really satisfactory.
