Re: Tai Xuan Jing Symbols, any background information ?

[Richard Cook]

The English TXJ names come from Michael Nylan's book. You'll have to 
find that book to learn what she meant. Or better, get a copy of the 
Chinese original. -Richard

Tai Xuan Symbols (U+1D300-U+1D356)? Any JTC1/SC2 document? The Chinese
names?

    I'm having problem understanding a lot of names in this block. For
instance :
          What does "watch" mean in U+1D344?  Timepiece? Period of 
duty? A
guardsman? A division of the night?
          What does "aggravation" mean in U+1D351 ? Worsening ? 
Exasperation
?
          What does "compliance" mean in U+1D352 ? Acceptance, 
conformity or
submission ?

          Etc.
