There is presently discussion about the symbols to be used to indicate the
availability of Audio Description, Subtitle and Signing in television
broadcasts.

This is being discussed in the Digital_TV and TV_for_All discussion forums
at the http://www.cenelec.org webspace.

I am suggesting that the following Private Use Area code points be used for
the symbols at the present time.  This could lead to a useful consistency of
encoding for use with interactive television systems.  Hopefully regular
Unicode code points will be established at some time in the future, these
Private Use Area code point suggestions are simply to help in achieving
consistency in the mean time.

U+F2F0, decimal 62192, Audio Description
U+F2F1, decimal 62193, Subtitle
U+F2F2, decimal 62194, Signing
