<p>thanks Mirjana and Mats for respective messages and comments, since there are 180 languages at the start and that's a big number to be looking at, even for a linguist, I suggest each member of our group should look at one character across all 180 languages
and obtain/create/establish etc. the context for it. <o:p></o:p></p>
