Greetings, I took your advice and designed my own keyboard. I have to say, deciding what characters to include is a challenge. The ISO (2000) standard is clear about what characters are available on page 12, but nearly all other references include various and different additional characters (squad, diaeresis dot, quad jot, quad slope, etc.). Are any of those used or planned to be used?
I will supply my keyboard SVG file in case anyone else wants it. Thanks.
