And to make matters worse BKA- SHOG YIG MGO [U+0F0A] is actually the term for the "starting flourish for giving a command", and should thus be the name of the character proposed at U+0FD0, except that U+0FD0 now has to make do with a subtly different name as its proper name has already been appropriated by the character with the opposite meaning ... definitely one for the Unicode Book of Bloopers ! Incidentally, shouldn't the proposed name for U+0FD0 be "TIBETAN MARK BKA- SHOG GI MGO RGYAN" (BKA- + space) not "TIBETAN MARK BSKA-SHOG GI MGO RGYAN" (BSKA- + no space) ? Andrew
