Re: Minutes: August 13, 2025 - Internationalization Accessibility Community Group (global-inclusion)

For your table you may find the following link useful.  My table has 
probably more information than you need, but may perhaps suggest some 
characteristics that you haven't yet considered.  It also applies the 
categorisations to a large number of writing systems, which may be 
useful background information.

https://r12a.github.io/scripts/script-features/

In the 'alternative table' i'm not clear about why diacritics are called 
out (and why cedillas are on a separate line).  It seems to me that the 
primary function is less important than accessibility issues such as 
whether they are legible (or in some cases even present), whether they 
should or should not be included in search keys, etc.  Note, btw, that 
Thai tone marks, etc, are also a type of diacritic.  The table doesn't 
appear to have a clear objective, since it mixes rows related to 
diacritics with rows related to script types.

hope that helps,
