Zaytsev V., West A. [Document No.] JTC1/SC2/WG2 N4765 = L2/16-277: Discussion of 29 proposed Khitan Small Script characters // The Unicode Consortium: [official website]. 2016. 35 pp.
Document WG2 N4738 proposes to encode 472 Khitan Small Script characters in ISO/IEC 10646 and Unicode, based on the 472 characters identified by West, Zaytsev & Everson in document WG2 N4725R Table 5. Questions have been raised about twenty-nine of these characters, as they may not all be attested in primary sources such as epitaph inscriptions. This document provides additional evidence relating to these twenty-nine characters, and discusses whether they should be encoded or not.
On November 14–15, 2023, the 1st All-Russia conference of young orientalists “Army and military traditions of the Near East” will be held at the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts, RAS. The program of the conference is now available.
