I am looking for the codes or assignements status of the Cyrillic letter OE/oe (ligatured) as used in Selkup (exactly similar to the Latin pair).
This character pair has been part of the registration nr. 223 (in 1998) by ISO of the (8-bit) "extended Cyrillic character set for non-Slavic languages for bibliographic information interchange" : http://www.itscj.ipsj.or.jp/sc2/open/02n3136.pdf According to this document, this character set had also been standardized as ISO 10756:1996. Note that it contains many other characters for which it did not document any mapping to the UCS in the then emerging ISO 10646 standard. It has even been part of proposals at the UTC and ISO the same year for including in the UCS, along with other characters (at that time, Michael Everson wrote a proposal, placing them in U+04EC, U+04ED, but since the, the slots have been used for other characters (that block is now full). It is also referenced in the ISO 9 Cyrillic/Latin transliteration standard. Still, there's no Cyrillic character I can find in the encoded UCS in other Cyrillic extended blocks that are not full (for example, the CYRILLIC SUPPLEMENT block at U+0500-052F). Where are those characters ? And what about the remaining characters found in the Registration nr. 223 and ISO 10756:1996 ? And their status in the ISO 9 standard itself ? Thanks. -- Philippe.
