Maybe instead of trying to make each base symbol and complete rectangle of fills and rotations (or matrix) of symbol but rather just have table with the ones that are valid. We have to look up the valid fills and valid rotations per base symbol anyways. So I'm not seing the advantage here. The last four in the first column here ISWA2010 could map to the first 4 in ISWA2020 as would the first four. Correct me if I missed something here. > > > 2) Variation compatibility.
