I am sure that in this case "Armenian" does refer to the script. If they are widely used in other script contexts then I would prefer to see them named 058D RIGHT-FACING ETERNITY SIGN and 058E LEFT-FACING ETERNITY SIGN, and give them a Unicode script property of common. I have no problem with encoding them in the Armenian block, even as symbols common to multiple scripts, as this is analagous to the encoding of the four svasti signs in the Tibetan block even though they are used in multiple script contexts. NB As they are still at the PDAM ballot stage there is still time to make changes to their names and/or code positions ... which is unusual as most problems are only brought to the attention of this list when it is too late to make any such changes.
