Dear Jacques and Hotta San

	Thanks for your effort on this issue.
	I agree with Hotta that CJK should focus on the coordination of a
unified variant table and generation rule first.
	If ICANN will set up an evaluation process to address this issue,
CJK would like to join and follow. Anyway, it is out of CJK's current
working scope now.

Regards
Wang wei

Ö÷Ìâ: Re: [Japanesegp] [ChineseGP] ´ð?: ´ð?: Characters likely to cause
offence

Thanks for your clear explanation, Jean-Jacques.
I agree with your discussion.

I think we are not thinking in a different way.

I just wanted to say that "if someone can decide, with reasonable reason,
what characters should be removed from the repertoire, I will not object
that". I believe GPs should not be responsible for such decision. As you
explained, those two characters have a deep innocent history and CJK folks
will think such characters are important good characters for their lives.
However, I think it will not be CGP/JGP/KGP's responsiblility to prove that.

Regards,
Hiro

characters meeting no opposition could then be included; those presenting a
problem would then be either submitted to further examination, or rejected,
and the rationale for either decision would be documented. Also, it may be
useful to provide a mechanism for periodic review.

case, the principle of historic precedence should be respected: the Sanskrit
svastika, which can be traced back at least to the Neolithic, is
unquestionably more ancient than any more recent use of this script, or its
tragic misuse by the Nazi regime in the first half of the 20th century.
