Unicode plain text proposal status (May 2016)

The latest Unicode Technical Committee (UTC) discussion about the Egyptian Hieroglyphic Writing system as Unicode plain text is available from the Unicode web site in Recommendations to UTC #147 May 2016 on Script Proposals [pdf]. This document also contains an update on the status of work being done to extend the repertoire of Egyptian Hieroglyphs in Unicode.

I hope to produce a first draft of a list of clusters of hieroglyphs required for plain text using all three L2/16-018R [pdf] control characters sometime in the next few weeks (this draft data initially to be published on www.egpz.org).
