Their glyphs are quite different from the characters suggested to beunified with. Their usage evidences were submitted in IRGN 1739 or shown to IRGmembers in IRG#35. We suggest the characters NOT to be unified.We are looking forward to IRG members consider the inclusion of those characters inCJK Ext. E in this meeting.
