Hi Eduardo, I just mentioned you on the SignWriting Symposium today during the SignWriting Stack presentation. http://www.signwriting.org/symposium/presentation0043.html > If I use "Sutton SignWriting (Unicode block)", which code points should > be used for the coordinate and structural characters? My fonts and libraries support Unicode 8, but I do not use it personally. For the fonts, the 37,811 glyphs are stored on Plane 16. Each glyph gets it's own code. The Unicode 8 specification is supported with ligatures. Each symbol is identified by 1 to 3 Unicode characters. These sequences are mapped as ligatures to the plane 16 glyphs. For data storage, we use Formal SignWriting, as ASCII data. This FSW is transformed into SVG structure and plane 16 glyphs. The plane 15 encoding is still supported today. Your experimental font is still available and valid. If you are going to use Unicode 8, you would need to augment that with part of the ASCII characters of Formal SignWriting or the characters on plane 15. For the font work, the plane 15 characters would probably be best. But I'd just use the plane 15 encoding entirely and forget Unicode 8. > http://signpuddle.net/mediawiki/index.php/MSW:Text_Encoding#8.B._Repertoire_and_Coded_Character_Set Yes, that is still valid. You can see the same encoding, along with the others in the internet draft. https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-slevinski-signwriting-text-05#section-5.2 Regards, -Steve ________________________________________________ SIGNWRITING LIST INFORMATION Valerie Sutton SignWriting List moderator [log in to unmask] Post Messages to the SignWriting List: [log in to unmask] SignWriting List Archives & Home Page http://www.signwriting.org/forums/swlist Join, Leave or Change How You Receive SW List Messages http://listserv.valenciacollege.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=SW-L&A=1
