I discovered on the updated "Pipeline" page that the apocryphal Deseret letters OI and EW were approved by UTC on 2002-05-02 for a future version of Unicode.
Are these the same characters (and glyphs) that were described in John Jenkins' original Deseret proposal, and displayed -- perhaps accidentally -- in the chart accompanying the Deseret proposal for the ConScript Unicode Registry? These are, respectively, SHORT AH with an added SHORT I stroke (OI) and LONG OO with an added SHORT I stroke (EW). BTW, although Deseret was withdrawn from ConScript last year, the proposal is still available on Michael Everson's CSUR site -- if you know where to look. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California
