Updates
to the Unicode Standard
[87-C2]
Consensus: A
Unicode 3.1.1 update is needed to incorporate file fixes and updates to the

Consensus:
The UTC supports the development of a proposal for encoding Egyptian
hieroglyphs consisting of the Gardiner subset while leaving hieroglyphic
extensions and markup issues for later study.
INFITT
[87-C5]
Consensus:
The UTC has a general policy not to re-encode existing scripts. Thus the UTC
will not re-encode Tamil. Based on the information available, the current
encoding of Tamil is sufficient for Tamil text processing. The UTC
invites submission of information on characters that might be missing from the
encoding. [L2/01-221]
Character
Mapping Tables
[87-C6]
Consensus:
The UTC authorizes a draft update of UTR#22: Character Mapping Tables which
incorporates the three items from L2/01-180 (for charset xml: subchar1,
stateful (SI/SO) encoding - single xml mapping file, and also for charset xml:
iso-2022) and takes into account the feedback received during the discussion.
[87-M8] Motion: Archive the mappings/EastAsian files to an archive directory and add a readme to explain the issues with them. [L2/01-179, 192, 193]
