My goal is from the very beginning to describe characters useful for encoding historical Polish texts, at least the most important and/or not obvious ones. My recent paper http://bc.klf.uw.edu.pl/480/ is in Polish, but you can have a look and be surprised by some characters needed to encode Polish texts and metatexts (linguistic or lexicographical descriptions). > > You could think of it as a pilot project.

I'm still looking for suggestions about a suitable software. An attempt to use BitBucket wiki appeared so impractical that I had to abort it after describing just a few characters: https://bitbucket.org/jsbien/unicode4polish/wiki/ Best regards Janusz -- , Prof. dr hab.
