As I said in other email. I have to take back my claim that I see no book about uppercase Armenian used in number system. But I still doubt there are books really use upper case armenian. Also please ignore the commend I made about Syriac. That issue got answered on the mailling list several days ago.

attached mail follows:
here are some of my personal comments after I reviewed this draft ( http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-css3-lists-20021107/ ) against the paper I put together for the 16th International Unicode Conference, March 27-30, 2000 in Amsterdan, Holland at http://people.netscape.com/ftang/paper/unicode16/part2.html 1. armenian and lower-armenian The characters you used there seems very different from what inside my paper. Where do you get those definitation? It looks like you list the "lower-armenian" to express the number. From all the books and paper I collect, I didn't see the use of lower case armenian characters for number. Have this got reviewed by native Armenian? Could you list the references for future research ?

Tuttle Co., Inc., ISBN 0-8048-1654-9 Could you tell me more about the story of how you express 7000? 2. about japanese-formal and japanese-informal Formal Japanese numbering System This looks right Informal Japanese numbering system This does not looks right. I think your current value is wrong. First of all, the current document repeatly use the same characters in Group Marker and in the Digit Marker. That is definitaly wrong. I think the definitation should be Second Group Marker U+4E07 Third Group Marker U+5104 Fourth Group Marker U+5146 Second Digit Marker U+5341 Third Digit Marker U+767e Fourth Group Marker U+5343 Digit 0 U+96f6 Digit 1 U+4e00 Digit 2 U+4e8c Digit 3 U+4e09 Digit 4 U+56db Digit 5 U+4e94 Digit 6 U+516d Digit 7 U+4e03 Digit 8 U+516b Digit 9 U+4e5d Notice that Second Group Marker/Third Group Marker and Fourth Group Marker should be the same characrers used in the formal Japanese simp-chinese-formal formal simplified Chinese numbering (you should call it Simplified Chinese. Not "Simple Chinese" same in the simp-chinese-informal session) Your table does not looks right. I think the following characters should be used instead Second Group Marker U+4E07 Third Group Marker U+4ebf Fourth Group Marker U+5146 Second Digit Marker U+62fe Third Digit Marker U+4f70 Fourth Group Marker U+4edf Digit 0 U+96f6 Digit 1 U+58f9 Digit 2 U+8d30 Digit 3 U+53c1 Digit 4 U+8086 Digit 5 U+4f0d Digit 6 U+9646 Digit 7 U+67d2 Digit 8 U+634c Digit 9 U+7396 simp-chinese-informal informal simplified Chinese numbering (you should call it Simplified Chinese.

It looks those are served as a temp place holder. I am not sure it is a good idea to use these two particular Unicode characters here. Could you tell me any reference about this algorithm? trad-chinese-formal Formal Traditional Chinese numbering system Your table does not looks right.

From my knowledge only the upper case character have been use to express number. Which books/paper tell you that lower case characters have been used? Again, coulud you explain the source of why you use two characters to express 7000Received on Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:03:06 GMT
