Page "Medieval Unicode Font Initiative" Paragraph 3

To prevent the possibility of corruption of the source texts, the eventual goal of the MUFI is to create a consensus on which characters to encode, and then present a completed proposal to the Unicode authorities.

In the meantime, a part of the Private Use Area has been assigned for encoding, so these characters can be placed in typefaces for testing and to speed up the later transition to the final encodings ( if the project is accepted ).

As of Unicode 5. 1, this proposal has been made, covering 152 characters, and most of these ( 89 in all ) have been encoded in the Latin Extended-D block.

Others are in the Combining Diacritical Marks Supplement ( 26 chars.

), Latin Extended Additional ( 10 chars.

), Supplemental Punctuation ( 15 chars.

), and Ancient Symbols ( 12 chars.

).
