This does not solve any problems not already solved. This is not plain text; it is a form of interchange markup and a higher-level protocol. There are already higher-level markup protocols that accomplish this. The standard already specifies that FFFC should not be exported from an application or interchanged. There is no reason to change this. >>Everybody will welcome the new conventional, graphical-type characters >>and scripts that are coming with Unicode 4.0. > >What are those please?
