Dear all, This is not really a substantial concern, but I noticed a couple of small errors in the Proposal for Latin Root Zone document, specifically in the included code points table (5.3.), languages using the code point column: š (latin small letter s with caron) and ž (latin small letter z with caron) are also used in Finnish, and their behaviour is unusual enough and possibly relevant to us that it should be discussed at some point. æ (latin small letter ae) and ø (latin small letter o with stroke) are also used in Norwegian. ü (latin small letter u with diaeresis) is *not* used in Swedish unless you count proper names of foreign origin, in which case it should also be included in Finnish along with é and some others. Whether those actually matter for us, I'm not sure. But as an observation, Finnish has historically treated ü as a variant of y, not of u, and likewise å (a with ring above) as a variant of o rather than a, and although things have become muddled since the advent of computers, a Finnish speaker might still consider "yber" and "über" equivalent and potentially confuse them with "uber" as well. There are other similar cases, too. Regards, -- Tapani Tarvainen On Mon, Feb 24, 2025 at 07:46:54PM +0000, Saewon Lee via Gnso-latin-diacritics (gnso-latin-diacritics@icann.org) wrote:
