Hello, There's a problem I found about the middle dot usage in Traditional Chinese. --Usage Middle dot for Traditional Chinese has 3 usages list below: 1, separates translated latin name in Hanzi, e.g. 乓餌喟 2, as decimal point in Hanzi e.g. 銝颱 3, separates book, chapter, title e.g. 閰拍駁憸具餌◣曌 In Traditional Chinese, the Middle dot should be full-width and a filled round dot in the middle. --Codepoint There's some codepoints general used for the middle dot in Traditional Chinese. 繚 U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT U+2027 HYPHENATION POINT U+30FB KATAKANA MIDDLE DOT 嚗 U+FF0E FULLWIDTH FULL STOP And in Simplified Chinese usage, the middle dot is U+00B7. U+00B7 from A150 and U+2027 from A145 on BIG 5 code table[1]. But I think U+00B7's definition more suitable for the middle dot than U+2027 / U+FF0E. --Solutions Considering about interoperability and codepoint definition, I have 2 proposals. 1. use U+00B7 as general middle dot, if authors want to let it full-width, use U+30FB. But most Chinese fonts do not have the glyph, certainly fallback to Japanese font. [2] 2. use U+00B7 as general middle dot, and in Traditional Chinese subset, let glyph be full-width. ===== 雿嚗潛曄擃摮銝剝其蝙其貊嗆毽鈭嚗唾撖思葉瘙璅皞閮銝靘嚗箏拙寞 箇擃摮亥嚗蝔梢喟嚗雿輻函瘜嚗 1, 其瞍Ｚ陌憪嚗靘憒嚗乓餌喟 2, 雿箸慰摮詨撠賊嚗靘憒嚗銝颱 3, 其詻蝡雿嚗靘憒嚗閰拍駁憸具餌◣曌 函擃摮冽銝嚗亥閰脩箏典耦/刻嚗箇蔭銝剔撖血暺 靘敺撖阡隞嗡嚗潛暹撣訾蝙函Codepoints嚗 繚 U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT U+2027 HYPHENATION POINT U+30FB KATAKANA MIDDLE DOT 嚗 U+FF0E FULLWIDTH FULL STOP 蝪⊿摮舐絞銝雿輻沃+00B7嚗U+00B7靘朋IG 5A150嚗雿隤摻+00B7摰蝢拇頛蝚血雿輻函瘜嚗隞乩桐蝙沃+2027U+FF0E 隞交箇寞憒銝嚗 1, 雿輻沃+00B7雿箸皞銝剝嚗乩唾典耦嚗雿輻沃+30FB嚗雿粹Codepoint閮勗銝剜摮瘝嚗隞亙嗾銋銝摰Fallback唳交摮 2, 雿輻沃+00B7雿箸皞銝剝嚗雿函擃摮摮銝哨撠園箏典耦 [1]: http://www.khngai.com/chinese/charmap/tblbig.php?page=0 <http://www.khngai.com/chinese/charmap/tblbig.php?page=0> [2]: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/ <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/> WANDERER Digital Publishing Inc.
