Dear Colleagues,
I would like to circle back to something we discussed in our meeting Thursday. When looking at Section 6.3.1.3 we talked about this entry:
Latin
Small Letter I with Grave |
|
|
|
|
|
Latin
Small Letter I with Hook Above |
|
As Dennis quite correctly noted in the Comments, we had determined that code points 0069 and 1EC9 were not variants. But as we later determined, we had found
Latin Small Letter I with Grave and Latin Small Letter I with Hook Above to be variants. That's what this entry was for -- the code point names and glyphs were correct, just the Unicode number was wrong.
Here's what I find fascinating. Clearly Dennis was looking closely at the entry. But closely as he was looking, even Dennis didn't notice that the glyph was Small Letter I with Grave rather than just Small Letter I. And yet, we have ruled generally that Grave and Dot Above do not create variant pairs.
Something is very wrong here.
Bill
