    Shouldn't there be another list for handling all messages related to the
    encoding and unification of the MANY CJKV ideographic characters, that would
    also be of interest for IRC members?

    For most people on this list, messages related to the mapping between
    Unicode and various national Asian standards for CJK ideographs is of little
    interest, because they only care about Unicode itself, and not about
    specific national standards, or other findings in various local dictionaries
    and books.

    May I suggest a separate cjkv-users@unicode.org list (like there's one for
    Hebrew and CLDR issues) where most of those discussions about CJK ideographs
    unification would go?

    Philippe.
