It's not abuse at all. I often use U+28xx to show sighted people what the braille for something looks like. I often need to do this when, for example, I need them to comapre what I'm showing them to what's on an actual braille display. U+28xx is the only way for me to do this without a lengthy description containing sequences of dot number combinations. Also, U+28xx is the only reasonable way to share braille music between people who use different languages. >The primary users would be: >* people who want symbols uncorrupted (especially if their language uses a > non-latin script) >* CJK people (as discussed below) Again, that's not true. Why aren't braille users included in this list? After all, it's we who motivated this enhancement. I guess actual blind people mustn't count just because there are relatively fewer of us. :-( -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: d...@mielke.cc | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: +1 613 726 0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 |
