1. Summary Issues/Conclusion

WG2 meeting 21 was held in Paris, France from 7-11 October 1991. 30 people, representing 13 national bodies attended. Their names and affiliations are listed in section 1.1. The objective of the meeting was to review the working paper and prepare a proposal for a second DIS to be submitted to SC2.

Many resolutions were taken at this meeting which are specified in detail in other sections of these minutes. These resolutions at this meeting were adopted by general consensus. Specific concerns are highlighted in the appropriate places.

The main conclusions and results of this meeting can be summarized as follows:

1. Detailed adjustments of the repertoire and review of the second DIS working paper N745 was accomplished.

2. The DIS will contain the Basic Multilingual plane as single two byte compaction form. This, together with other resolutions taken, reduces the number of implementation options under this DIS.

3. A preliminary disposition of country response from the balloting of the first DIS was adopted.

4. Deadline for submission to the editor of fonts, code tables and list of names for the accepted new code positions is 26 October, 1991.

The resolutions taken at this meeting together with the resolutions of the August 1991 meeting in Geneva, provide sufficient instructions to the editor to proceed with the preparation of a 2nd DIS 10646.

Points of discussion:

Note that the recommendations below were the results of a subgroup within WG2 that reviewed document N 745 while another subgroup was reviewing naming issues. The recommendations are mentioned here only for completeness of the minutes, but the resolutions, which in some cases modified the recommendations, are what counts as far as the results of the meeting is concerned.

1) Coding in O-Zone

The discussion of the status of the O-Zone characters was postponed since it depended on decisions taken about compaction forms. (See 3 below and Resolution 2).

2) Combining method for Korean

The sum of the Korean requirement is to cover the 1930 modern and 1754 ancient Hangul from the KS first expansion set, as well as provide a composition method.

Recommendation A:Add < 100 Korean combining Hangul jamos. Decide on this set by deciding on a combining method before the end of the week.

Include 1754 old Hangul characters pending verification by the Korean delegation with the national body that a delay of inclusion into the first version is acceptable.

3) 2-octet compaction and swapping

- Japan defers requirement for swapping and for a Japanese plane for the DIS-2

- Korea has no requirement for swapping, as long as their character repertoire requirements can be satisfied in the BMP by coding or combining methods.

- China has no requirement for swapping in this DIS

- Egypt: as far as Hieroglyphics are concerned there is no requirement for a swapping method for this DIS. The standard should not prohibit this is in the future. Arabic presentation forms: they would require swapping or include them in BMP (142 characters)

Recommendation B:Change the DIS so that the BMP is the only 2-octet compaction form in the DIS.

4) SGCI usage

Recommendation C:Remove SGCI from DIS-2; reconsider in a future edition of the standard when there is a requirement.

5) Repertoire and allocation

Recommendation D:The diacritical marks in N762 submitted by Germany and which can currently not be represented in the DIS, are added, except the last 15. WG2 would welcome further input from the user group identified by N762 to understand their requirements and propose solutions.

6) Left/right-Open/Close

Recommendation E:Mr. Paterson to write text to make Bidi interpretation non ambiguous.

7) Definitions and explanations

Recommendation F:Add definition and explanation for characters listed in clauses 21 and 22.

The above recommendations from the subgroup were presented and the following resolutions taken as a result of the discussions:

Resolution

autonum

:The O-Zone is reserved for future use. Its size remains unchanged. Wording in the DIS is changed such that the BMP is the only 2-octet compaction form.

Resolution

autonum

:Add 142 additional Arabic Presentation forms as in N740 to the BMP at locations already specified to the editor.

Resolution

autonum

:Add 1754 old Hangul characters to the BMP. Codetables and fonts to print them (in 24x24 or better resolution) for these and the 1930 modern Hangul added in the Geneva meeting, as well as character name tables for the total Korean character repertoire in the DIS to be submitted no later than October 26.

Later submission would exclude these characters from being included in the second DIS.

==> ACTION ITEM:Korea to submit the items above to the editor.

Resolution

autonum

:There shall be no further additions of Hangul characters to the BMP. Any additional requirements for coding of Hangul characters will be addressed by dynamic composition. The set of primitive characters (less than 100) required for dynamic composition will be included if a decision on the composition method can be made before 11 October.

(DONE.)

Resolution

autonum

:SGCI is removed from the DIS. If there are future requirements for the functionality offered by SGCI (i.e. to access single characters from additional planes once these are defined) it should be reconsidered by a future version of the standard.

Resolution

autonum

:Rephrase the text on the interpretation of paired characters to make it unambiguous based on text submitted to the editor by Mr. Paterson.

(DONE. See attachment 1 in paper N782).

Resolution

autonum

:Add text to describe the intended use of characters from clause 21 and 22. This text shall state that the control functions of clause 21 and ISO 6429 should not be used simultaneously.

(DONE. See attachment 2 in paper N782).

Resolution

autonum

: The functions of UCSI, OOM and other introducers to be described in the DIS.

Resolution

autonum

:Mr. Scheinberg, on behalf of WG2, will draft a liaison statement from SC2 to SC22 concerning the use of zero octets.

(DONE. See attachment 3 in paper N782).

Resolution

autonum

:WG2 recommends that SC2 encourages SC22 to start a project on character attributes including short mnemonic names. WG2 experts are prepared to contribute to such work.

Resolution

autonum

:Several (<40) ideographic characters from the Unicode repertoire were not included in the first edition of the Unified Ideographic character set (v1.0 draft). WG2 resolves to include these characters (for round trip mapping integrity) in the CJK-Compatibility Ideographic block of the second DIS (F900-FAFF).

==> ACTION ITEM:Mr. Scheinberg to submit these by October 26.

==> ACTION ITEM:WG2 convenor to send a liaison letter to CJK-JRG to verify these characters by 26 November at their next CJK-JRG meeting in Hong Kong in November 1991. (DONE. See draft in attachment 4 in paper N 782).

Summary of subgroup on naming issues

i) The group reviewed at least once all lists of names of N745/2.

ii) A series of amendments/adjustments and corrections, most of which are of editorial nature. Example:

* A number of name changes and allocations in Table II were proposed according to information received from USSR by Mr. Van Wingen.

* The Georgian (Table 28) set has been correctly separated into two sets (Khutsuri and Mkhedruli).

* Editorial improvements in tables 36 to 39, 41 to 43.

iii) Agreement with Korean participants on the method for producing names for Korean characters,

iv) Agreement with CJK-JRG participants for the naming of CJK unified ideographs. Their names will be "CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPHS - XXXX" where XXXX is the code position in hex on the BMP.

v) Mr. Hasegawa will implement the agreed upon amendments.

Recommendations:

The vertical bar below in Cyrillic is in reality the same as cedilla, so it is recommend to remove:

04B2, B3 HA WITH BAR BELOW

049A, 9B KA WITH VERTICAL BAR BELOW

04A2, A3 EN WITH VERTICAL BAR BELOW

04B6, B7 CHE WITH VERTICAL BAR BELOW

Remove COMBINING HANGUL CAE OM 31D4 (chart bug)

5.3 Review of work items from this meeting

Paper from Mr. Paterson was accepted, with the emendation to change "can be" to "are" in each subclause.

Paper from Mr. Hart was accepted. The last page to be excluded. It is anticipated that this annex will be revised after review by countries.

The text for this resolution was prepared as an action item by Dr. Davis and with amendments from Dr. Cho it was adopted as follows:

Resolution

autonumlgl

:The number of possible modern Hangul characters reaches 11,172. If old Hangul characters are included, the number becomes very large. The BMP includes 2,350 modern characters from KSC 5601 and 1930 modern and about 1,700 old Hangul from KSC 5657. However, Korea is concerned about the large number of remaining, infrequently used Hangul characters. As an auxiliary method of representing the remaining characters, a combining method for the combining Jamos from 31A0 to 31FF can be used. Some systems may also wish to optionally use the combining method for general Hangul characters.

When Korea supplies a normative combining method for combining jamos, it will be addressed by SC2/WG2. In the interim, in the interest of a merger with Unicode, a text describing a combining method will be included in an informative part of this standard.

(DONE. See attachment 14 in paper N782).

Paper from Dr. Davis on Alternate Format characters was accepted with minor amendments as provided to the editor. The last section is replaced by a paper from Mr. Ghoneim, which was accepted with minor amendments as provided to the editor.

A standard font format was distributed by Dr. Davis for use in supplying fonts in response to work items.

The text of the liaison letter drafted by Mr. Scheinberg was accepted with minor modifications.

6. Prepare a preliminary disposition of comments

Resolution

autonum

:Convenor to modify N744, preliminary disposition of comments, to ensure that it reflect the text of the published version of the second DIS.

Resolution

autonum

:The convenor presented the convenor's report to SC2. Text of Document N743 to be modified per WG2 participants' feedback at the meeting.

7. Future meetings

Resolution

autonum

:The date of WG2 Meeting 22 is moved to 29 June-3 July, 1992, the alternate date is 3 August - 7 August, 1992. To be hosted by Korea.

The date of WG2 Meeting 23 is set for 5-9 October, 1992. The meeting will be hosted by Canada, tentatively in Toronto.

8. Other business

8.1 Liaison statement from SC22

SC22 liaison report (van Wingen). The report is contained in WG2 N 770

8.2 Liaison statement from SC18/WG8

SC18/WG8 liaison report (Mr. Hasegawa, temporary. liaison to SC18)

- Want to look into other scripts: Arabic Thai, Mongolian

- Would welcome expertise help in these areas

- Concerns about WG2 standards containing presentation forms.

- Font properties for Hangul dynamic composition is investigated at glyph level

- also for ideographic, font properties for dynamic composition is studied
