Proposals symbols for Unicode Consortium
During the development of the E-document
scientific multilingual processing Project, some characters
missing from the Unicode Standard have needed. Some proposals to encode
such characters are prepared.
The most up-to-date versions are posted below. Earlier versions of the
proposals are also linked to this page for archival purposes.
Each proposal has an restricted version (introduction, bibliography,
and list of characters proposed) which is the version to be submitted to
Unicode Consortium, and a completed version containing documentation and
examples of use for each character.
