Speaking of Hieroglyphs, this is one of those areas where Unicode just
isn't done yet. We could likewise argue for centuries over how to han-
dle the Sumerian-Akkadian-Assyrian-Babylonian script(s). There is sim-
ply no way that Unicode is ever going to be a complete solution. Be-
ing a philologist by training, I can only look with horror on the idea
of locking everyone into an internal Unicode representation scheme.
I've seen suggestions that seem to me as though they amount to this.
Am I misunderstanding? Phil, Dan, anyone else - ?
