The Henry Luce Foundation has made a grant to the Unicode Consortium in
support of three meetings between Unicode specialists, experts, and user
communities in Mongolia and China. The meetings, which will take place from
2015 to 2017, will discuss encoding issues relating to specific scripts in
the region, such as Mongolian Square and Soyombo. The goal of the meetings
is to move the scripts forward in the encoding process, so scholars and the
relevant user communities will eventually be able to create, send, and
search materials in these scripts electronically. The project is headed by
Dr. Deborah Anderson, Technical Director of the Consortium, and Project
Leader of the UC Berkeley Script Encoding Initiative.
