David Starner said:

"Fraktur is not a different script from the Latin script, and therefore is
not encoded separately."

True, but Fraktur math characters are encoded in plane 1 for use in mathematics. These characters are not intended to be used for natural language purposes (unless you think of mathematics as a natural language :-) In which case, it's probably the only truly international natural language.

Thanks
