◼Sign-lists for digital encoding – Glyph

– MacScribe – Winglyph – JSesh

(14)

◼To sum up:

• Fonts vs commented sign-lists (esp. with functions) • Referenced or not

• Iconic information (i.e., what does the sign represent and what matters from an iconic point of view) or not • Paleographical information (esp. with diachronic

purposes, e.g., first use of the sign, first appearance of function ‘x’, etc.) or not

(15)

◼The positive dimensions of existing sign-lists – Functions

– Sources and references

– Diachronic information

◼Addition needed

– Description of the signs and standardization principles

– Collection of forms and analysis of the variation
