Dear Mirjana and all group members of Repertoire sub group,

I think first we have to focus on available characters under available Unicode charts for Latin Script, then we have to devise principles / rules for inclusion / exclusion / deffer, on the basis of usage in different languages. After having a table, we have to look for the usage in language.

I am attaching first draft of principles for Latin Script, available Unicode charts and MSR-2 documents, for start of the discussion of the group, thous 1st chart (0000 to 007F)  does not need any discussion as it is already in use as ASCII code.


Best Regards,

Ahmed Bakht

Dear Nebiye,

 

I am trying to understand the idea behind your proposal. What is the purpose of looking for specific characters through all languages.  Are you trying to develop the Repertoire of all characters used in languages with Latin script for future processing?

 

Regards Mirjana

1.      If not found we still do not know if it should be included or not.

2.      We have to return to all languages for characters that we have not found elsewhere.

3.      We have to investigate all characters in every language anyway to make to see if it has any combination of base character and combining mark.

 

For every character (or combination) that we want to include we should find evidence that it is used according to the principles. To have a firm ground we should not just register for one language, but for several, in case some language is excluded at a later stage or that evidence is found to be invalid.

Dear All,

Each member of the Rep. group may be invited to look at one character only across the languages listed. What do you think? Pls see sample attached and comment. Thanks.
