With lossy I mean this for example. In system `one` only `a|b|-` is allowed In system `two` `a|b|-|+|=` is allowed. The value `ab` in system `one` can be one of these but an infinite amount of other options : ``` ab a+b +ab ab+ a+=b a=+b+==++== ``` This conversion type just drops characters that can't be converted. You might decide to use `-` to indicate that a character was dropped. - `a+b` -> `a-b` - `a=b` -> `a-b` - `a-b` -> `a-b` Any lossy conversion is prone to collisions. And designers would need to know all the downstream translation tools and if they have a lossy conversion. ---- Escaping characters is possible in some contexts but very awkward to type. -- GitHub Notification of comment by romainmenke Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/design-tokens/community-group/issues/119#issuecomment-1073358223 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
