Please take heed to the "need >proposals for inclusion" list very seriously. Can you provide scanned samples of published documents illustrating usage by a user community of those characters that are not yet in Unicode, and provide clarification of what the user community is (e.g. I'm not familiar either with UMRE or with the Padre Recuero Transliteration and who uses it -- not saying that I question the veracity and validity of anything, but only that it helps to feel confident when you have at least some familiarity). In the next 6 to 9 months, I expect I'll be preparing a proposal for addition of several Latin characters. I'd be happy to include needs you have identified, if the aforementioned documentation is available. Of course, you can always write a proposal yourself. They won't get added, however, by just mentioning them on this list. They need a champion to move them through the process, and championing begins by completing the proposal summary form. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Constable Non-Roman Script Initiative, SIL International 7500 W.
