  • u1100-u11ff hangul jamo (78m)

plan

  • Order of implementation: by number of users, starting with arabic and devanagari.
  • Will probably work on bold/italic variants of extant glyphs before getting into this.
  • Don't know when (or in what decade) implementation will occur, but the intention is there.

consideration filters

  • Only unicode range u0531-u1cff.
  • Only currently active scripts with at least a million users.
  • Only scripts with glyphs that can reliably fit into single boxes (still unsure about devanagari, bengali, gurmukhi, gujarati).
  • Only scripts that I can reference in Arial Unicode MS and TITUS Cyberbit Unicode.
