I do have a follow up question though, that I didn't think of during the talk. It was indicated that the glyphs will occupy the private use space. Many symbols already have their own codepoints over severals blocks, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_Symbols . Would it make sense for those symbols that already have a code point to use the already defined code point rather than a private use code point? I'm thinking about the star, black star, pencil, paperclip and gear for example, but I think the same goes for most glyps on the image in the github page. --Martijn _______________________________________________ > Wikitech-l mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
