Hello,
 
I agree with Professor LuQin's point.
 
Pls kindly consider the following words in section 2.6 of RFC5892(for IDNA )
 

2.6.  Exceptions (F)



   F: cp is in {00B7, 00DF, 0375, 03C2, 05F3, 05F4, 0640, 0660,
                0661, 0662, 0663, 0664, 0665, 0666, 0667, 0668,
                0669, 06F0, 06F1, 06F2, 06F3, 06F4, 06F5, 06F6,
                06F7, 06F8, 06F9, 06FD, 06FE, 07FA, 0F0B, 3007,
                302E, 302F, 3031, 3032, 3033, 3034, 3035, 303B,
                30FB}

   This category explicitly lists code points for which the category
   cannot be assigned using only the core property values that exist in
   the Unicode standard.  The values are according to the table below:

PVALID -- Would otherwise have been DISALLOWED

00DF; PVALID     # LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S
03C2; PVALID     # GREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL SIGMA
06FD; PVALID     # ARABIC SIGN SINDHI AMPERSAND
06FE; PVALID     # ARABIC SIGN SINDHI POSTPOSITION MEN
0F0B; PVALID     # TIBETAN MARK INTERSYLLABIC TSHEG
3007; PVALID     # IDEOGRAPHIC NUMBER ZERO
 
It means that U+3007 is only allowed as the number zero, otherwise it will not allowed in use in IDNA protocols. 
 
零 can be used to express many meanings besides the number zero, but ?? can be only used as the number zero In IDNA.
 
?? is a special code point in IDNA while 零 is a normal code point.
 
so it may be not proper that  ?? is regarded as  a variant to 零 based on IDNA protocols.

主题: [ChineseGP]RE: question about ?? and 零

Dear Wang Wei,

 

What is the U code of this Japanese?  I think U+3007 being considered the simplified form of is a good one, simply consider it as variant is not as good.  But, U+3007 is considered a CJK symbol, not a CJK ideograph.

 

 

Best regards,

 

LuQin

Subject: question about
?? and

 

Dear Prof. Lu, Prof. Li and Prof. Zhang

尊敬的陆老师,李老师,张老师

 

       JGP provided its latest repertoire in which a new character ?? was added.

       do you think ?? should be an independent character, or, a variant to 零 ?

 

       在最新的日本字集里,加入了字符“??”

       你们认为??是否应设为零的异体,还是独立成字?

 

       Looking forward to your suggestion

 

Regards

WANG Wei
