I'm going through sorting stubs and ran across this article. It seems fairly filled out so I went ahead and removed the stub tag. Rx StrangeLove 00:04, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Unicode

[edit]

Is this system included in Unicode or proposed to be? -- Beland (talk) 02:05, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No. And it is probably fairly unlikely to for quite a long time. We are still working on some significant historic predecessors of modern scripts - bronze and seal chinese scripts; important modern niche scripts - Cirth, Blissymbols, Sutton signwriting; significant historic scripts - Uighur, Yezidi, Pyu; large historic scripts - Tangut, Kitan large and small, Sumerian pictographs, Aztec, and Mayan Hieroglyphs. We don't even have Unicode for the 61 original "bar-form" Braille cells not currently covered by the Braille Patterns block. There has been a preliminary treatment of Moon type, though, so it's not out of the question. I wouldn't hold your breath, though. VanIsaacWS Vexcontribs 14:18, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are some ways to show NYP:
  • Use images (Commons of Wikimedia has all of images of NYP)
  • Use Unicode braille characters and rotate with CSS. Unicode has a complete set of 8-dot Unicode characters, on “Braille Patterns” Unicode character block.
    1. Insert the Unicode braille characters
    2. Then rotate to 90° or 270° with markup
    3. Then will be shown as NYP “characters”
  • Or use Private Use Area. These characters can be added on Supplementary Private Use Planes A–B, or PUA block on BMP.

I think, I can propose New York Point block in Unicode.
