New MUFI characters The MUFI character recommendation v. 1.0 (8 December 2003) has a total of 828 characters: MUFI character recommendation v. 1.0 Below is a list of candidates for additional characters. It is not yet decided whether all of these characters will be included in the next version of the MUFI character recommendation. PUA = Private Use Area.   1. Additional precomposed characters with acute accent Glyph Entity name Code point Descriptive name &OEligacute; E259 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER OE WITH ACUTE &oeligacute; E659 LATIN SMALL LETTER OE WITH ACUTE Note: This pair of characters is already in Titus, and the Titus code points (as given here) should be used by MUFI.   2. Additional precomposed characters with dot above Glyph Entity name Code point Descriptive name İ 0130 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE &Qdot; E282 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Q WITH DOT ABOVE &qdot; E682 LATIN SMALL LETTER Q WITH DOT ABOVE &Udot; PUA LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH DOT ABOVE &udot; PUA LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DOT ABOVE Ż 017B LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH DOT ABOVE ż 017C LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH DOT ABOVE Note: The characters "I dot", "Z dot" and "z dot" are already in Latin Extended-A, and "Q dot" and "q dot" in Titus. The code points given above should be used for these characters. If "U dot" and "u dot" are accepted by the Titus project, MUFI should use the same code points   3. Additional precomposed characters with macron Glyph Entity name Code point Descriptive name &Oslashmacr; E252 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH STROKE AND MACRON &oslashmacr; E652 LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE AND MACRON &Vmacr; PUA LATIN CAPITAL LETTER V WITH MACRON &vmacr; PUA LATIN SMALL LETTER V WITH MACRON Note: The first pair of characters are already in Titus, and the Titus code points (as given here) should be used by MUFI. The latter pair has been proposed for the Titus project. If accepted by Titus, MUFI should use the same code points.   4. Additional precomposed characters with breve Glyph Entity name Code point Descriptive name &Oslashbreve; PUA LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH STROKE AND BREVE &oslashbreve; PUA LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE AND BREVE Note: If this pair of characters will be accepted by the Titus project, MUFI should use the same code points.   5. Additional precomposed characters with macron and acute Glyph Entity name Code point Descriptive name &Oslashmacracute; PUA LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH STROKE AND MACRON AND ACUTE &oslashmacracute; PUA LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE AND MACRON AND ACUTE Note: If this pair of characters will be accepted by the Titus project, MUFI should use the same code points.   6. Additional precomposed characters with macron and breve Glyph Entity name Code point Descriptive name &Oslashmacrbreve; E253 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH STROKE AND MACRON AND BREVE &oslashmacrbreve; E653 LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE AND MACRON AND BREVE Note: This pair of characters is already in Titus, and the Titus code points (as given here) should be used by MUFI.   7. Additional combining superscript characters Glyph Entity name Code point Descriptive name &jsup; PUA COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER J &qsup; PUA COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER Q &wsup; PUA COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER W   8. Additional critical signs Glyph Entity name Code point Descriptive name &verbarql; PUA VERTICAL LINE WITH LEFT QUILL &verbarqr; PUA VERTICAL LINE WITH RIGHT QUILL Note: This pair of signs is used to indicate dittography (right quill, then left quill) or erasure (right quill, then left quill) in critical editions of Old Norse texts. There are two similar characters in the Unicode Standard, viz. 22A6 ASSERTION [= SHORT RIGHT TACK] in Mathematical Operators and 2ADE SHORT LEFT TACK in Supplemental Mathematical Operators. However, the critical signs should be taller (like 007C VERTICAL LINE in Basic Latin) and the quill shorter (like 2045 LEFT SQUARE BRACKET WITH QUILL and 2046 RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET WITH QUILL in General Punctuation). For this reason, we recommend new code points.   9. Additional stroked characters Glyph Entity name Code point Descriptive name &Gstrok; 01E4 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER G WITH STROKE &gstrok; 01E5 LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH STROKE Note: The characters "b", "d" and "g" are often used with a stroke to indicate fricative pronunciation, especially in neogrammarian texts (such as Noreen’s grammars). Since "b with stroke" and "d with stroke" have been included (the former as 0180 in Latin Extended-B and the latter as 0111 in Latin Extended-A) in the MUFI recommendation, "g with stroke" should be added.   10. Additional superscripts and subscripts Glyph Entity name Code point Descriptive name &sup0; 2070 SUPERSCRIPT ZERO &sup4; 2074 SUPERSCRIPT FOUR &sup5; 2075 SUPERSCRIPT FIVE &sup6; 2076 SUPERSCRIPT SIX &sup7; 2077 SUPERSCRIPT SEVEN &sup8; 2078 SUPERSCRIPT EIGHT &sup9; 2079 SUPERSCRIPT NINE &sub0; 2080 SUBSCRIPT ZERO &sub1; 2081 SUBSCRIPT ONE &sub2; 2082 SUBSCRIPT TWO &sub3; 2083 SUBSCRIPT THREE &sub4; 2084 SUBSCRIPT FOUR &sub5; 2085 SUBSCRIPT FIVE &sub6; 2086 SUBSCRIPT SIX &sub7; 2087 SUBSCRIPT SEVEN &sub8; 2088 SUBSCRIPT EIGHT &sub9; 2089 SUBSCRIPT NINE Note: These characters are already in the Unicode Standard, in the range Superscripts and Subscripts (2070-209F). Superscript numbers can be used to differentiate diacritical abbreviation signs, such as various types of bars, in display and print. Subscript numbers are often used to indicate line numbers, also in display and print. The superscript numbers 1, 2 and 3 are included in Latin-1 Supplement as 00B9 SUPERSCRIPT ONE, 00B2 SUPERSCRIPT TWO and 00B3 SUPERSCRIPT THREE respectively.   Return to the MUFI main page Created 15 March 2004.
