The Assamese Writing in the Unicode

Friends:

UNICODE to have a meeting next week to discuss the status of the Assamese script. Please see the response I received from the Unicode. I have forwarded two of my recently published articles as well as other published materials on the subject.

 

My requested position is as follows:

 

Rename the present Bengali Script in the Unicode either as

1) Assamese and Bengali Script or

2) Kamrupi Script

 

or to have a separate slot in the Unicode for the Assamese script.

 

 

Thanks
