Abstract:
Unicode's design goal is to be the universal character set for all
applications. The goal entails the inclusion of very large numbers
of characters. It is also focused on written language; special
provisions have always been needed for identifiers. The sheer size
of the repertoire increases the possibility of accidental or
intentional use of characters that can cause confusion among users,
particularly where linguistic context is ambiguous, unavailable, or
impossible to determine. A registry of code points that can be
sometimes especially problematic may be useful to guide system
administrators in setting parameters for allowable code points in an
identifier system, and to aid applications in creating security aids
for users.
