At the last Unicode Technical Committee meeting (Aug 1-5), I presented a proposal (attached) to develop a Unicode property and algorithm to support Japanese layout. The first target is a mean of determining the orientation of character in vertical lines. The discussion resulted in: [ 128-C43 ] Consensus: Authorize a proposed draft with working title "UTR #50: Unicode Properties for Vertical Text Layout". [ 128-A131 ] Action Item for Eric Muller, Editorial Committee: Create Proposed Draft UTR #50. I am now working on this proposed draft. (At this point, the preliminary minutes of the meeting are not public, but that's all they will say on this subject.) Eric.
