The latter isn't so daft as Unicode already includes Klingon >glyphs! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yes - SignWriting can be placed into Unicode. I feel very blessed to be working out the details with Michael Everson, who is one of the key people in Unicode development. I hope to be sending Michael a document with a detailed listing of all of the SignWriting symbols this summer. Then it may take several years before the Unicode of SignWriting is ready. When it is ready, I suspect it will benefit all of our work, because it will be easier for other programmers to create new typing techniques with the SignWriting symbols.
