Hi All

I posted a note on recent documents (and developments) on Unicode and hieroglyphic on http://hieroglyphseverywhere.blogspot.co.uk/.

I expect there will be plenty to discuss in weeks and months to come.

Hopefully the Yod issue is settled once and for all but if anyone has a problem with the two characters proposed please speak up now so we don?t waste a year or two as happened with hieroglyph format controls.

Bob

Dear Bob,
(Dear Michel Suignard,)

Actually, I like the earlier proposal L2/17-076 for an "LATIN ... LETTER 
EGYPTOLOGICAL YOD" much more.

The new proposal L2/17-076R2 calls the "half circle" above the "i" a 
"... WITH SPIRITUS LENIS" and the shape of the half circle looks more 
like a "quotes" sign -- like there is a dot in the upper part (future 
encoders will certainly design it that way due to the name "... WITH 
SPIRITUS LENIS"). But this is not how it is supposed to look like. It is 
supposed to look like half an "EGYPTOLOGICAL ALIF". Compare
http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~dwernin/temp/EgyptologicalYod.pdf (with scan 
from Gardiner, Egyptian Grammar, and others).

Therefore, I take issue with the new proposal as far as it aims at 
Egyptological encoding (*wrong shape, misleading name*).

Greetings,
Daniel (Werning)

Apologies?. Some mailing lists default to the sender, some to the group. Mea culpa?
