Japan (N)

A.   Accepted in part. The term RIAL in the name will be changed to RIEL.

B1. Rejected. Khmer linguists insist that these are distinct characters which must be coded separately.  They are used chiefly in transliteration, for instance of Sanskrit.

B2. Rejected. This is the normal way that Long A is represented in Brahmic scripts in the UCS.

B3. Rejected. Khmer linguists have indicated that these are required for lexical work and must be distinguished in coded text.

B4. Rejected. The stand-alone form of these characters can be represented by preceding the characters with a space.

B5. Rejected. The Virama model is used for Khmer.

Sweden Comment noted. No action required.

U.S.A.
