Bill, could you re-check the accuracy of your article, and, if it is accurate, please give us the names of the Japanese delegates involved, or the name of their working group, and any other relevant info such as document numbers and/or voting date/place. > Does > anyone have any current info on anything that is being proposed in > lieu of ISO/IEC DIS 10646 and Unicode? Some Japanese have set up an informal group to discuss the possible extension of Japanese EUC and Shift-JIS to support the new supplementary Kanji set called JIS X 0212. Some of these proposals mushroomed into "internationalization" extensions. I may be able to provide more info if anyone is interested. (This is not to say that "the Japanese" are against both 10646 and Unicode.) - -- Erik M. van der Poel erik@sra.co.jp Software Research Associates, Inc., Tokyo, Japan TEL +81-3-3234-2692
