RFC 1345 gives mnemonic strings for many useful characters, and there are a number of character input systems that use this standard for the purpose of standard key sequences for entering those characters. I'm not aware of a Unicode or ISO table similar to the table of character mnemonics in RFC 1345, leaving an update to the RFC as the best option I can see. I'd be happy to learn of a freely-implemented popular standard mnemonic table that is equal or better. > (2) If *you* think an update would be a worthwhile exercise, you > have thereby nominated yourself for writing the internet draft for > an update. Perhaps. I don't have anything close to the knowledge that obviously went into the writing of RFC 1345. > Good luck finding someone to review it. I'll take that as your note of disinterest in the topic. Thanks for discussing so far. I wonder if there aren't others closer to IETF than me who also feel RFC 1345 serves a useful purpose as described above. -- \ "It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once." | `\ -- David Hume | _o__) | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
