(Keyboard symbols)

 

Disposition of Comments

The PDAM appears in JTC1/SC2 N 3003 (also SC2/WG2 N1682).

Responses to the letter ballot appear in JTC1/SC2 N 3067 (also SC2/WG2 N 1766).

The ballot results are:

-YES 19 (with comments from Ireland and U.K.),

- NO 2 (Germany and U.S.A.)

National bodies that submitted comments are listed below. Where a national body has submitted a negative vote the indication (N) appears after its name in the list.

Germany (N). Accepted in principle.

The symbol at position 25F8 which represents the decimal separator will be adjusted, by reducing the size of the glyph and moving it down towards the baseline.

Ireland.

Technical comment: Accepted in part.

Eleven names will be changed. Four of them are shown below. The remaining seven accepted changes were also requested by USA and are shown under the heading “USA” below.

 

|PDAM 22| |Revised | |

|names | |names | |

|2380 |INSERT |2380 |INSERTION SYMBOL |

|2381 |CONTINUOUS UNDERLINE SIGN |2381 |CONTINUOUS UNDERLINE SYMBOL |

|2382 |DISCONTINUOUS UNDERLINE SIGN |2382 |DISCONTINUOUS UNDERLINE SYMBOL |

|2383 |EMPHASIZE |2383 |EMPHASIS SYMBOL |

The following character names will not be changed. These names were deliberately chosen to describe the shapes of the symbols in general terms, for consistency with existing names in the First Edition of the standard, rather than for their specific usage on keyboards:

21F1 NORTH WEST ARROW TO CORNER

21F2 SOUTH EAST ARROW TO CORNER

2385 WHITE SQUARE WITH CENTRE VERTICAL LINE

2389 CIRCLED HORIZONTAL BAR WITH NOTCH

238A CIRCLED TRIANGLE DOWN

238B BROKEN CIRCLE WITH NORTH WEST ARROW

 

Editorial comment: Accepted.

 

UK. Not accepted.

The combining diacritical marks for symbols would not generate the glyphs for the new symbols with sufficient accuracy.

USA (N). Accepted

The following amendments will be made.

(The notation “nc” in the 3rd column indicates “no change of code position”.)
