3. Code-point allocation for v. 4.0 of the MUFI character recommendation

At the MUFI group meeting in Bergen 7–8 April 2011, a number of characters in the pipeline discussed for inclusion in the next version (4.0) of the MUFI character recommendation. They have been listed below, divided into four major categories.

Note that the majority of characters can be handled with OpenType functionality and thus will not receive separate codepoints (section 2 below).

1.7 From Janusz S. Bień, Warszawa, Poland

2. Characters which will be handled with Opentype functionality

The characters on this list are precomposed characters, and should therefore be rendered by Opentype functionality. This means that each glyph must be drawn by the font designer, but that they will be accessed by substitution rules in an Opentype font (otf.), not by specific code points. Furthermore, this means that the characters on this list will not be available in a Truetype font (.ttf).

2.1 From Florian Grammel, København, Denmark

▸ LATIN SMALL LIGATURE UU WITH DOUBLE ACUTE
▸ LATIN SMALL LETTER P WITH DOUBLE ACUTE

2.2 From Florian Grammel, København, Denmark, and Karl G. Johansson, Oslo, Norway
