    I have submitted to the Unicode Technical Committee and Working Group 2
    of the ISO 10646 my response not in support of Michael Everson's proposal
    to encode Phoenician in Unicode.

    You can download the Acrobat PDF file from:

    Feel free to comment. (There have been approximately 1500 emails on the
    Unicode and Hebrew email lists over the last few months on this topic -
    it has been very controversial.)

    Respectfully,
