We've talked about encoding these, but kind of stalled. My post https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/murrays/2016/02/05/unicode-math-calligraphic-alphabets/ discusses these possible additions in a little more detail. Thanks for circulating, that brings back some of the discussions to mind. My recollection was that trying to sort out the script/cal problem really put the brakes on things (as there are numerous technological problems or differences in opinion, such as the fact that the TeX engines don’t handle variant selectors in mathematics or that different fonts have assumed different “defaults"), whereas for the sans Greek proposal there hasn’t been much objection except that it’s not that common (and your example there of chemical formulae is a good one that I hadn’t thought of). Could it work to split the proposal into two, one for script/cal and one for sans greek? Regards, Will
