    Thank you very much for your help.

    It is in Unicode 4.0, section 10.3, page 273, and you can see it at:

    my original: 1021 1013 1031...
    your correction: 1021 1013 1012 ...

    I am a bit confused, and looking more carefully, my new guess is: 1021
    1019 1031... Apparently, that makes the first word sound like "american".

    ok

    I think I understand. Also, I corrected 1018, which should be 101E.

    Just to be clear, I am not proposing any modification to the encoding
    model. At best, I can think of clarifications that could help people
    like me, who have limited knowledge of the script.

    In another place in your message, you mention that the current model is
    not optimal for sorting. I am not a specialist of sorting, but this is
    not an entirely unusual situation. It is in general not possible to make
    the encoding model such that it is optimal for all processings
    (rendering, sorting, etc.) You may want to check carefully the UCA, to
    see if and how it can handle proper sorting.

    Eric.
