Proposed new characters updated in Pipeline Table

The Pipeline Table for proposed new characters has been updated to reflect recent decisions by the UTC. Changes include the approval of characters for Grantha and several other historic scripts, and many new symbols to cover the popular sets of Wingdings. Please see http://www.unicode.org/alloc/Pipeline.html .

The information in the Pipeline Table is intended only to summarize the interim status of the committee progress on processing new character proposals. The Pipeline Table a good place to find out what's on the horizon for future versions of the Unicode Standard, before the encoding is finalized. However, because the committee review continues, the information is necessarily subject to change. Products should be created based only on final, public release of a version of the standard.
