Subject: WAI-Adapt: Symbols Module is a W3C Candidate Recommendation (Call for Implementations)
Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
[This announcement will be forwarded to W3C group chairs]

I am pleased to announce that WAI-Adapt: Symbols Module is now a W3C
Candidate Recommendation:
    https://www.w3.org/TR/2023/CR-adapt-symbols-20230105/

The approval and publication are in response to this transition request:
    https://github.com/w3c/transitions/issues/478

We welcome implementations for symbol attribute in websites and web
apps. Please provide feedback by 28 February 2023 as follows:

* By GitHub: please open a new issue in the WAI-Adapt GitHub repository:
    https://github.com/w3c/adapt/issues/new

* By email: Please send comments in e-mail to <public-adapt@w3.org>.

Please create separate GitHub issues or email messages for each topic
you address, rather than commenting on multiple topics in a single issue
or message.

The Accessible Platform Architectures Working Group invites feedback
from the following groups with dependencies:

Abstract:
This specification provides web content authors a standard approach to
support web users with various cognitive and learning disabilities who:

* Customarily communicate using symbolic languages generally known as
Augmentative and Alternative Communications (AAC);
* Need more familiar icons (and other graphical symbols) in order to
comprehend page content;

The technology described in this specification is intended to be used to
programmatically transform the appearance of typical web content
including form controls, icons, and other user interface elements into a
rendering incorporating an individual user's preferred AAC symbols. The
W3C Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Symbols Registry
specification [aac-registry] provides the required mappings between
concept values used by content authors and the user's preferred AAC
symbol set representation of that concept.

This WAI-Adapt: Symbols Module is a component of the WAI-Adapt series
introduced in the WAI-Adapt Explainer document [adapt].
