The original Endangered Alphabets subject line was hijacked, almost immediately, into a thread about defining code pages within the Unicode architecture, and then about the PUA. There really isn't any connection here. Characters that belong to these "endangered alphabets" should be encoded as normal Unicode characters if they meet the usual criteria. No special mechanism needs to be invented. As for encoding *languages*, see RFC 5646. -- Doug Ewell | Thornton, Colorado, USA | RFC 5645, 4645, UTN #14 www.ewellic.org | www.facebook.com/doug.ewell | @DougEwell
