"Different" versus "variant"? Michael's analysis seems correct. If Deseret was not already in the Standard, a new proposal for its encoding including eight characters covering the two dipthongs would not be amiss, would it? An alternative would be to use the ZWJ mechanism to indicate a preference for the desired letters. My opinion that variation selectors would be the right approach was based upon concerns about existing data getting "broken". But, if there isn't any existing data... Best regards, James Kass
