the UCD for Unicode 8.0. The change has already taken place in
the revised beta files now posted (see

Ah. Thank you. Now I understand what Steven meant by read the minutes,
too.
That's the problem with reading individual items in meeting minutes:
each item is a snapshot in time,
I think it is gives a misleading picture to only include mother-language
speakers, rather than all languages (at a reasonable level of fluency).
Every Swiss German is fluent in High German.
Part of the problem is that it is very hard to get good data on the
multiple languages that people speak—a
If the various Chinese languages/dialects are similar enough to be counted in a
single category, then certainly Swiss German Is similar enough to the German
spoken in Germany and Austria to be counted in the same category.

Well, the same reasoning could also argue for the contra-positive (a→b ⊨

This document suggests a way to use the method of a base character together
with tag characters to produce a graphic. The approach is theoretical and has

I think I've figured out the philosophy WJGO is trying to follow here.
We should have a way to encode graphics in Unicode

How about
We should have a way to encode sound-waves in Unicode?
Or
