At the start of our work it was forbidden to talk about capital letters. Now we have had a long discussion about capital I with and without dot, so I think it is time that we look at another phenomenon in our data. Note that I do not argue that we should create new variant sets, just that we should look at it before we send the report out for comment. In our repertoire we have U+00F0, U+0111 and U+0256. Those lower case letters are distinct so that is not the problem. The potential issue is that the capital letters of those three are homoglyphs, not just similar. You can see below how they look like. I have enclosed them below in different typefaces. U+00F0 LATIN SMALL LETTER ETH U+00D0 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER ETH U+0111 LATIN SMALL LETTER D WITH STROKE U+0110 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D WITH STROKE U+0256 LATIN SMALL LETTER D WITH TAIL U+0189 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER AFRICAN D I think this should be mentioned in the text and the reason why we do not think it is a problem (if that is the conclusion). Pasted in the same order as above with small letter a in between, in in Helvetica, Times New Roman and New Courier: aÐaĐaƉa aÐaĐaƉa aÐaĐaƉa The same as picture: [cid:image001.png@01D6610F.4968D8A0] Yours, Mats --- Mats Dufberg mats.dufberg@internetstiftelsen.se Technical Expert Internetstiftelsen (The Swedish Internet Foundation) Mobile: +46 73 065 3899 https://internetstiftelsen.se/
