Additionally, at this point, the period for feedback on the BETA for Unicode 3.2 is closed. The UTC meets next week, among other things, to digest and decide on various issues that have come up from all the feedback. However, it should be noted that in any case, the decisions on which *characters* are to be encoded for Unicode 3.2 are long past. Those cannot be revisited now -- they are already on the last legs of publication both for the Unicode Standard and for 10646. What the BETA period has been for is is trying to verify the correctness of the various data files and the text of the UAX that will be formally published in March as Unicode 3.2. People who want to have an impact on what characters should or should not be standardized in future versions of the Unicode Standard would be well-advised to be considering the content of the currently open amendments to 10646 (Amendment 2 to 10646-1 and Amendment 1 to 10646-2). *Those* are the vehicles for characters to go into Unicode 4.0, and *those* are where feedback still has some chance of being taken into account and making a difference in what gets standardized. --Ken
