C.21 Shuowen Seal Encoding Design Issues [Cook, L2/17-250]

The UTC has reviewed this document. Our sense is that Seal Script should be separately encoded even though we recognize there is a clear historical relationship between Seal Script and Han. See Aramaic, Brahmi.

UTC recognizes that major sources may have duplicate entries. So a strict source-separation rule should not be imposed on the encoding.

UTC has no position on question 3 of the document, lacking the particular expertise.

[152-A92a] Action Item for Lisa Moore: Relay UTC feedback on Shuowen Seal script design encoding issues to Richard Cook, so that he has UTC feedback prior to the August Shuowen Seal encoding meeting.
