Re: [Unicode] USAT value in the kIRG_USource property

Dear David,

Although your confusion is unavoidable, USAT source
characters are submitted by Taisho Tripitaka digitization
project named "SAT" ( http://21dzk.l.u-tokyo.ac.jp/SAT/index_en.html ),
not by UTC. Therefore, current UAX#45 lacks the information.

# originally, IRG experts had once recommended to use "Z"
# prefix for SAT characters, but WG2 experts decided to
# use "U" prefix.

Anyway, UAX#38 is expected to be updated for syntax
and appropriate reference. I will ask SAT experts
comments.

I don't think there is requirement to update UAX#45
to include all USAT characters, but the title of
UAX "U-Source Ideographs" might be arguable.

Regards,
mpsuzuki
