Re: Dotless J with stroke.

Whatever works, as long as it does work. Otherwise, you can expect =20
lots more difficulties for people who see something which looks like =20
an amalgam of Latin and Greek characters think they can just use the =20
usual fonts and other thingies they see offered for <latn> script =20
processing, but which will not serve them well. The OpenType =20
'language system' is fine, but where does that fit with registering =20
such handling in an ISO Standard?
