Can you post both symbols please, thanks?
I can point you to http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0080.pdf , which
includes a glyph for U+00AA, and
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2700.pdf , which includes a glyph for
U+271D. I don't think it's necessary to post these glyphs to the public
list.
Trying to know who among ISO and Unicode first created the names' list
for Latin-script is not an indication of obsession :-')
So among Unicode and ISO/IEC, who first created ISO/IEC 8859-1 &
ISO/IEC 8859-2 letters/symbols names with each name with LATIN in it?
Most of the characters in the various parts of ISO 8859 were originally
standardized before Unicode or ISO 10646, so the names were probably
either created by the ISO/IEC subcommittees responsible for those parts,
or found in earlier standards and adopted as-is.
The merger between Unicode and ISO 10646 caused a few character names in
Unicode to be changed to match the 10646 names.
