Isn't this page creating the idea for a specific block of script-representative glyphs, that could be mapped in plane 14 as special supplementary characters ?
Good heavens, no.
It's one thing for me to update this font regularly for Apple when new blocks get added to the standard.
It's quite another thing to suggest that we should have to add, formally, a new block symbol to some block in Plane 14 every time we add a new block to the standard.
Isn't it?
Surely the correct thing to do is to implement Last Resort support for different platforms as Apple indicates using those character names.
So fonts containing these glyphs could be designed to display these glyphs, in a way similar to the current assignment of control pictures.
Um, that's what the Last Resort font does, outside of Unicode encoding space. (I don't think PUA characters are used, actually, but I could be wrong.
