Practitioners of many sciences need Unicode in order to store and exchange
information. Mathematicians have successfully encoded what are essentially
Latin glyph variants separately for usage as math variables in Plane One,
including Fraktur and cursive styles.
Epigraphers may elect to classify and codify specific variants for specific
needs. ...
Perhaps we should have a special block of "Epigraphical Alphanumeric
Symbols", to go with the "Mathematical...", for which epigraphers can
propose all manner of glyph variants which they might find useful, while
the rest of us ignore these blocks get on with encoding our texts using
the existing Hebrew, Latin etc blocks with markup for glyph variants.
