Proposal to encode the Makasar script in Unicode
نویسنده
چکیده
This is a proposal to encode the ‘Makasar’ script in the Unicode standard. The script was described by Christopher Miller in Unicode Technical Note #35 “Indonesian and Philippine Scripts and Extensions”, where it was identified as “Makassarese jangang-jangang bird script” and recommended for encoding in the standard (2011: 43–46, 51). A preliminary proposal to encode the script under the name “Makassarese Bird Script” was presented earlier (L2/15-100). That was superseded by another proposal (L2/15-179), in which the designation for the script was changed to ‘Old Makassarese’. The present proposal is a revision of L2/15-179 and incorporates feedback from experts and suggestions made in “Recommendations to UTC #144 July 2015 on Script Proposals” (L2/15-204). The major differences from earlier proposals are:

Glagolitic writing may be found in mediæval manuscripts and in printed liturgical books, mostly of a Croatian origin. In Bulgaria, Glagolitic was gradually replaced by the Cyrillic alphabet, and this Cyrillic alphabet was subsequently used also by other Slavs. For its part, the Glagolitic script has been preserved by some communities in Croatia even up to the present. Extant Glagolitic texts ar...
