I reforward a message sent by Rustam Aliyev writing to me because I wrote about this "new" Azerbaijani Manat currency symbol in... 2008 when it was introduced. Since then nothing has happened and the symbol is still not in any pending formal proposal.
He tried to send this message to the list but his message was not delivered, and so he asks me for help about this issue. He provides additional prrofs of usage. See below. Thanks. Philippe. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rustam Aliyev <[email protected]> Date: 2013/4/3 Subject: Fwd: Azerbaijani Manat Symbol To: Philippe Verdy <[email protected]> Hello Philippe, I'm contacting you regarding your activity in Unicode group. I noticed that you sent email regarding Azerbaijani Manat symbol back in 2008 and therefore contacting you directly. I subscribed and sent following email to the unicode mail list. However, it wasn't delivered. It looks like moderation which lasts almost for a month not yet processed. I was wondering if you could help me with delivering this message to the mail list and also was wondering what is required to for submission. Many thanks, Rustam.

Azerbaijani Manat symbol was introduced in 2006 but wasn't really used until recently. At the moment, it is possible to see symbol used almost everywhere - outdoor banners, scratch cards with monetary value, web pages (see http://i.imgur.com/w22cii2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/8TkSKs7.jpg http://i.imgur.com/WPH7irG.png). Therefore, we think it's time to add this to Unicode (actually, we are a bit late). I went briefly through the guidelines and in accordance with recommendations sending email to this list first. Also, I noticed that proposal guidelines have broken links to the proposal forms ( http://www.unicode.org/pending/proposals.html). I would appreciate if anyone could provide templates for this or share previous applications. Many thanks, Rustam Aliyev.
