The way CJK unification works, you don't need to show that there is a semantic difference between the two forms, just that the form is used in a reputable source. Can you send me off-list a scan of the character from the Vietnamese dictionary you mention? > And for the proper name mark and book name mark, while i see the point that > it wiuld be best achieve via word processor styling or markup language, so > is it a good idea to integrating things similar to markup language into > unicode, like create a character ps that indicate start of proper name mark > and pe for end of proper name mark, then typing psPROPERNAMEpe would result > in something similar to <u>PROPERNAME</u>? I think you can achieve the appropriate styling for web pages using CSS: http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-css-text-decor-3-20130103/#text-decoration-style-property > And if using the work around suggested by Andrew, yes the hair space work > but it a distance between characters a gap with width equal to an 'i'.

Even with OpenType it is not easy to contextually create a gap between two combining underlines as the characters are not adjacent (I don't think it is impossible, but the only way I can think of doing it is rather unpleasant; perhaps other font experts on this list know an easy way of doing it). > and it seem > like babelstone han is not supporting U+1AB6? U+1AB6 is supported in the next release of BabelStone Han (due for release very soon, probably within the next week or two). > and is there any vertical > edition of the two characters... The combining underline and wavy line characters will work OK with a vertically oriented CJK font (they will display on the left). Unfortunately BabelStone does not currently work very well in vertical orientation. Andrew
