A few questions/suggestions on
which I am implementing at the moment.
> * E0A6 Extensible UR or LL brace section IBM SS240000
> * E0A7 Extensible LR or UL brace section IBM SS250000
I don't understand why there are not four of these. How can UR and LL be
> * E0AE Right ceiling corner DEC Tech 03/05
> * E0AF Right floor corner DEC Tech 03/06
What are these good for? Big floor-ceiling operators can already be
constructed using the bracket segments. And why are there only right
versions of these?

What is the difference to U+254c (BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT DOUBLE DASH
HORIZONTAL)? Michael's glyph in
doesn't seem to fit the description here. This character is still a bit
> E0D8 H line - Scan 5 DSG 07/01, Wyse ANSI 02/02 (2)
I think, this one should be unified with U+2500. The E0D6-E0DA
characters should also be renamed, as a scan line count is ambiguous and
resolution dependent. Something like
E0D6 BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT HORIZONTAL UPPER ONE SIXTH
E0D7 BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT HORIZONTAL UPPER TWO SIXTH
E0D9 BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT HORIZONTAL LOWER TWO SIXTH
E0DA BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT HORIZONTAL UPPER ONE SIXTH
and together with 2500 we would then have all the required lines.
An implementation of these characters is now available in
in the file 6x13-future.bdf, in which I collect proposed implementations
of post-Unicode 2.1 characters for my 6x13 font. It would be nice if you
could have a look at these characters. [BTW: The 6x13.bdf file is now
complete and will be added to various Linux distributions in a few days.
This is your last chance to send me bug reports and suggestions for this
free Unicode xterm font before wide distribution.]
