Scripts - Epigraphical Greek Letters (C.7)

[101-A71] Action Item for Deborah Anderson: Relay to Nick Nicholas that UTC concurs with his doubts about the Epigraphical Greek Letters. The case seems dubious for Tsan. Sampi might be stronger. If simply a glyph variant, then it's weak to encode it as a separate character. [L2/04-389]

[101-A78] Action Item for Rick McGowan: Follow up with Manoj Jain on proposal L2/04-358 for additional Gujarati signs. Request some minor revision and answer any questions to improve the proposal, then ask him to re-submit it for the next meeting. Thank him for the submission.

Scripts - Additional Kannada Characters (C.13)
