numbers <strong>to</strong> them? Is reta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g these <strong>in</strong> order <strong>to</strong> have a 1:1 representation as characters of all signs with<br />
catalog numbers an important goal, or should the encod<strong>in</strong>g assume modern font technology where such<br />
forms would be represented by unnamed glyphs? How are these used? Do they occur as such <strong>in</strong> exist<strong>in</strong>g<br />
data so that cross-mapp<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> Unicode is an important issue?<br />
13.5. Issue: Numbers. The encod<strong>in</strong>g for numbers proposed has met some opposition on the grounds that<br />
these represent precomposed characters. In this situation it would be useful <strong>to</strong> hear from practioners and<br />
people familiar with other efforts <strong>to</strong> <strong>encode</strong> the numbers. Are there issues with transcod<strong>in</strong>g from exist<strong>in</strong>g<br />
data collections.<br />
13.6. Miscellaneous issues: Gard<strong>in</strong>er dist<strong>in</strong>guishes ˝ N034 from ˛ N034-A: G1957:545:N34,<br />
G1928:31:N34, G1931:246:N34*, and G1953:4:N34*. Allen dist<strong>in</strong>guishes ˇ N034-B: A1999:437:N34a.<br />
Is this correct? Most of Gard<strong>in</strong>er’s “Ff” series, “Signs for transcription from Hieratic” are clearly<br />
identified as variants of other signs, and have been <strong>encode</strong>d as such. Two of them, é FF008 and<br />
è FF008-A have not yet been attested with certa<strong>in</strong>ty, but when they are they should be renamed and filed<br />
next <strong>to</strong> what they are variants of. Should Old K<strong>in</strong>gdom signs such as ‰ and Â, found at G1957:479:M3, be<br />
<strong>encode</strong>d at this time or left for future standardization?<br />
