Adopt-A-Character Grant to Support Three Historic Scripts

document image The Adopt-a-Character Program
<http://unicode.org/consortium/adopt-a-character.html> has awarded a
grant to support development of proposals for encoding the following
three historic scripts in the Unicode Standard:

    * Book Pahlavi, an Aramaic-based script important to Zoroastrian and
      Parsi communities worldwide
    * Persian Siyaq Numbers, a numerical system used in Iran from the
      9th to 20th centuries for accounting and administration
    * Uighur, a script used in the region spanning Uzbekistan to
      Mongolia from the 8th to 19th century.

The work will be done by Anshuman Pandey under the direction of Deborah
Anderson (SEI, UC Berkeley <http://linguistics.berkeley.edu/sei/>) and
Rick McGowan (Unicode Consortium
<http://www.unicode.org/education/consortwork.html>).

/Over 130,000 characters are available for adoption
<http://unicode.org/consortium/adopt-a-character.html>, to help the
Unicode Consortium’s work on digitally disadvantaged languages./
