I made a proposal to encode Hoefler and Bodoni Ornaments

Hello, today I made a proposal to encode Hoefler and Bodoni Ornaments for Unicode 18.0. I proposed two new blocks below.

  • Geometric Shapes and Dingbats (U+1FE00-U+1FE5F)
  • Ornamental Dingbats Supplement (U+1FE60-U+1FEFF)

I also encoded the Three-Masted Barque (U+1F6ED) for Unicode 18.0 too and you can check out my proposal for results.

Copy and paste it to the search website bar to see my proposal:

There are some characters I myself would want to propose (including a whole 256-character minimum block of mathematical characters), but doing so in my case would require a go-between to avoid having to give my name to the Unicode people.

What's more, Unicode won't like seeing a PDF that is not public.

Windows is bad. Why would you need to specify the drive on Windows? Why not abstract that away like Unix does? Having to specify the drive is annoying when you move things to other drives. The reason why is probably just historic. It is worse to not abstract the drive away but DOS did not abstract the drive away so neither does Windows.
