I commented this case in second part of my reply, but if I somehow offended you, please, accept my true apologizes for it. I did not mean you said exactly that, but just referred to both possible interpretations of a connection between a script and a symbol. Again, I am truely sorry and apologize if even the possibility of such interpretation offended you somehow. > Claims that the Unicode-assigned name of a character, script, or block is biased or racist or > prejudiced against a certain group never get very far with me, I'm afraid. ?! This is completely out of my intention. All I want is to try finding a neutral solution before the final (and irreversible) decision is made. I would raise the same question if someone proposed GEORGIAN SOLAR SIGN for the common dingbats block. Again, I apologize if I offended you in my reply somehow.
