RESOLUTION M43.2 (Character name rule for
Loose Matching):
No: DPR of
Abstention: Japan
Yes:
With reference to proposal for additional constraints on character names in document N2536, WG2 resolves to add the following new rule to Annex L on English character names in the standard, in order to enhance the uniqueness of character names::
Names are unique if SPACEs and HYPHENs are ignored, and if the strings “LETTER”, “CHARACTER”, and “DIGIT” are ignored in comparison of the names.
Examples of unacceptable unique names:
KHAROSHTI LETTER AA
KHAROSHTI CHARACTER AA
These two names would not be unique if the strings “LETTER” and “CHARACTER” are ignored.
The following six character names will remain as exceptions to this rule, since already standardized character names will not be changed:
0F68 TIBETAN LETTER
A 0F60 TIBETAN LETTER –A
0FB8 TIBETAN SUBJOINED LETTER A 0FB0 TIBETAN
SUBJOINED LETTER –A
116C HANGUL
JUNGSEONG OE 1180 HANGUL JUNGSEONG O-E
