My proposal is that we remove them from the repertoire (except for U+00EC).

Subject: [Latingp] Use of diacritic code points in Kirundi.

Dear Latin GP members,

We have got some response from our colleagues in Africa on the usage of Kirundi. It seems like the characters with diacritics are not generally used, please see the Kirundi news website, http://ubumwe.ppbdi.com [ubumwe.ppbdi.com].

They might be used in poems or other special purposes. However, based on the LGR procedure, it is clear to follow the conservatism and these could be exclude from the repertoire. If in the future there are evidence of usage, these can be added back then.

This is for your consideration and decision.

Code Point	Glyph	Name	Language using the code point (in the current proposal)
00EC	ì	LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH GRAVE	Italian, Kirundi
01CE	ǎ	LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH CARON	Kirundi
01D0	ǐ	LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH CARON	Kirundi
01D2	ǒ	LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH CARON	Kirundi
01D4	ǔ	LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH CARON	Kirundi

Regards,

Pitinan
