[Neobrahmigp] NBGP - Sinhala variant comparison

Tue Nov 13 11:46:39 UTC 2018

Dear All,

Please find  below, comments from the Devanagari and Gujarati LGR point 
of view towards the Sinhala GP proposal.

**

*Devanagari - Sinhala*

Devanagari Code Point

Sinhala Code Point

In Devanagari LGR Proposal

In Sinhala LGR proposal

Decision/Action

ः (U+0903)

ඃ(U+0D83)

Confusable

Confusable

	The Devanagari LGR, in the appendix, has listed substantial number of 
Cross-script variants which are consonants, vowels and vowel signs.  
Among all of those, Sinhala Visarga character also is included. As it is 
the dependent vowel sign which in isolation cannot form any valid label, 
it is mentioned only for the sake of completeness as a confusable.
Devanagari LGR team would like to place on record it's agreement with 
the Sinhala GP.

*Gujarati - Sinhala*

Gujarati Code Point

Sinhala Code Point

In Gujarati LGR Proposal

In Sinhala LGR proposal

Decision/Action

ः (U+0A83)

ඃ(U+0D83)

This is not mentioned

Confusable

	The Gujarati LGR has not listed any cross-script variants as the team 
did not find any Consonants/Vowels which can be confused with the 
Consonants/Vowels of any other scripts. As the dependent signs cannot 
form any valid label, such signs were not listed as the GJ LGR 
confusables. The discrepancy between cross-script confusable analysis 
between Gujarati (0A83) and Sinhala (0D83) Visarga character is seen 
because of that. As the pair is not found the normative Sinhala LGR, it 
is assumed that it is listed only for the sake of reference and as a 
confusable. GJ LGR team would like to place on record that this being 
part of the confusables only, the discrepancy is a non-issue and hopes 
that the Sinhala GP is in consonance with the same.

In addition, I would like to request the Kannada and the Telugu teams to 
strongly argue for inclusion of the normative variant pairs mentioned in 
their respective LGRs to be included in the Sinhala normative variant 
pairs. As the Kannada and Telugu mentions those code points as normative 
variants and the Sinhala LGR does not, this is a breaking discrepancy 
and needs to be addressed.

Regards,

Akshat Joshi
