In James Kass' Plane One font Code2001.ttf (built according to Unicode 3.1 standard and given for testing at http://home.att.net/~jameskass/code2001.htm) one can find surrogates for Old Persian Cuneiform signs.
Surrogate U+D800DF90, that must represent sound "di", has 3 short horizontal and 3 long vertical wedges.
According to Roland G.Kent's "Old Persian", American Oriental Society, New Haven, 1953, p.12 (a scanned picture of the table is included in this message) it must have only 2 verticals (see column 2).
Can anyone give me the reference for the cuneiform signs in the range of U+D800DFC0 - U+D800DFDE?
In the same package with Code2001.ttf I found a text file "Plane1.txt" with a fragment of an Old Persian citation.
As far as I understand Old Persian, character #5 in the 2nd word (or char #11 from the beginning of the fragment) is "ji" U+D800DF8A and it must be changed to "va" U+D800DF9E in order to give "Darayavaush" - the name of the Persian King - Darius.
