    The characters to which you refer are used in the context of Japanese
    telephony, and are graphic characters.

    As Andrew pointed out, you are wasting your time and ours. "There is
    absolutely NO CHANCE that the UTC or WG2 will accept (or even waste their
    time discussing) your proposal as it is totally out of scope for character
    encoding standards."
