These aren't images. They're clearly letters; they occur in running texts and represent the sounds of a spoken language. If I were transcribing them, I wouldn't encode them as pictures; I would encode them as PUA elements or XML elements (which are usually more easier to use and more reliable than the PUA). I don't think any transcriber would treat them as images (maybe display them as images, but that's purely presentational.) I'll admit that it's a bit sketchy encoding these characters based on one article by one author. But I think it important to remember that more and more text is available online, even stuff that might never get reprinted in hardcopy, and that needs Unicode. -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
