<p><font face="Cambria">Dear All,</font></p>
<p><font face="Cambria">Here is a brief discussion about this issue.</font></p>
<p><font face="Cambria">By and large, we have been including all the
cross-script variants in the cross-script variant analysis which
(or any combination of which) could stand as a alone valid
character/character sequence.</font></p>
<p><font face="Cambria">Recently IP has suggested that we may want
to reconsider this where a small number of code-points are
involved as that is an indicative of very small overlap between
the scripts. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Cambria">There are two kinds of such cases:</font></p>
<p><font face="Cambria"> 1. Cross-script variant set made up of
dependent characters <b>ONLY</b>:</font></p>
<p><font face="Cambria"> 2. Cross-script variant sets which do
included non-dependent characters/sequences:<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Cambria">Let us take a look at each of them
individually:</font></p>
<p><b><font face="Cambria">1. </font></b><b><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria">Cross-script variants made up of dependent
characters only:</font></font></b></p>
<p><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria">This</font></font><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria"> is the case as given in the
Example 2 given by Pitinan:</font></font></p>
<p><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria"><i>Telugu ం (0C02) and
Malayalam ം (0D02) are NOT variant code points. As they are
combining marks and cannot form variant labels. The same
applies or Telugu ః (0C03)and Malayalam ഃ (0D03)</i><br>
</font></font></p>
<p><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria">If dependent characters
(e.g. Vowel Signs, Anusvara, Visarga, Chandrabindu etc) are
the <b>ONLY</b> cases of cross-script variants among the
script involved, it is safe to assume the <b>NON</b><b>E</b>
of the labels created entirely of the cross-script variants
would be valid ones. Hence we did not include them in the
cross-script variants of the script pair. However, if there is
even one non-dependent (e.g. Consonant, Vowel etc) character
as a part of the cross-script variants, then all such cases
should mandatorily be included in the cross-script variant
table.</font></font></p>
<p><b><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria">2. </font></font></b><b><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria">Cross-script
variants which do included non-dependent
characters/sequences:</font></font></font></b></p>
<p><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria">This is the case as
given in the Example 1 given by Pitinan:</font></font></p>
<p><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria"><i>Oriya ଠ (0B20) and
Malayalam ഠ (0D20) are variant code points. </i><br>
</font></font></p>
<p><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria">As both the code-points
involved in this pair are non-dependent, even the smallest
instance (single code-point) i.e. ଠ (</font></font><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria">Oriya </font></font>) and ഠ (Malayalam)
are valid labels which look exactly alike. If we concatenate
instances of same variant characters with one another, we, in
theory, get infinite number labels as given below:<br>
</font></font></p>

<p><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria">.....</font></font></p>
<p><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria">all of these look
exactly alike, belong to totally different scripts and can
gain independent existence if not included in the cross-script
variant set. This indicates that though seemingly the number
of characters is few, it can create a large number of labels.
Important thing to note here is the presence of at least one
non-dependent character in the cross-script variant set. <br>
</font></font></p>
<p><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria">Hence, it is proposed
that:</font></font></p>
<p><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria">If, in any two given
scripts, all the potential cross-script variants consist of
dependent (</font></font><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria">e.g.
Vowel Signs, Anusvara, Visarga, Chandrabindu etc</font></font>)
characters <b>ONLY</b>, then that entire set can be ignored
and no cross-script variants be proposed between those two
scripts. <br>
</font></font></p>
<p><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria">If, in any two given
scripts, there is <b>AT LEAST ONE</b> non-dependent (</font></font><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria"><font face="Cambria">e.g. Consonant, Vowel etc</font></font>)
cross-script variant character/sequence present, all the
potential cross-script variants be considered and proposed
between the two scripts.<br>
