Created attachment 770964 [details] Glyphs for Malayalam Archaic II, minor fractions and Chillu LLL Recently I and Cibu Johny have proposed various characters to be added to the Malayalam Unicode block and in the last May 2013 UTC meeting they have been approved and further (IIUC) approved by the WG2 meeting last month in Lithunia. The links are provided below: N4429 Proposal to encode Malayalam minor fractions http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n4429.pdf N4428 Proposal to encode MALAYALAM LETTER CHILLU LLL http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n4428.pdf N4312 Proposal for MALAYALAM LETTER ARCHAIC II http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n4312.pdf This is a placeholder bug (like bug #839303 for Tamil fractions and symbols) to ensure that the requisite glyphs are added immediately once the characters are published in the Unicode standard finally. I have designed the glyphs for these proposed characters partially based on existing glyphs from the Lohit Malayalam font and would like to submit these as my contributions to the Lohit project under the OFL.
Yes, Definitely !! http://www.unicode.org/versions/beta.html "The next version of the Unicode Standard will be Version 6.3.0, planned for release in September 2013" Looking forward to see these characters in 6.3.0
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 20 development cycle. Changing version to '20'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora20
Please see http://www.unicode.org/alloc/Pipeline.html. The Archaic II is in stage 6 and others are in stage 3. Only stage 8 characters will be part of Unicode 6.3. Stage 7 characters will be part of Unicode 7.0 and others probably only later.
I did not found any changes to Malayalam in Unicode 6.3. Did i missed anything?
No you did not miss anything. I thought they would publish all stage 8 characters as part of Unicode 6.3 but apparently they chose to do a minimal release so no new Malayalam characters were added. Next to be added (stage 8, probably Unicode 7.0): 0D01 1 MALAYALAM SIGN CANDRABINDU and after that (stage 6): 0D5F 1 MALAYALAM LETTER ARCHAIC II (Devanagari, Bengali, Telugu and Kannada also have proposed additions. See the pipeline, stage 7/8 chars.)
Sure, will wait for some more time then.
Please note that the extra glyphs does not include the candrabindu required for 0D01 Malayalam Candrabindu probably to be released in the next Unicode version. Candrabindu characters for Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada are all due soon and may easily be copied from Lohit Devanagari. Do you want me to open a separate bug for that?
I was always missing Candrabindu in Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada. Glad to see this happening. I think good to have this tracking bug for now. In between we are soon starting Lohit Malayalam development for lohit2 projct. Will drop email on lohit devel for it.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Created attachment 1036224 [details] Glyphs needed to update Lohit Malayalam to Unicode pipeline as of 2015-Feb-05 The attachment includes the following glyphs for Malayalam to update it w.r.t. the current Unicode pipeline status as of 2015-Feb-05: 0D00 Combining Anusvara Above 0D01 Candrabindu 0D3B Vertical Bar Virama 0D3C Circular Virama 0D4F Para 0D54-0D56 Chillus M, Y, LLL 0D58-0D5E Fractions-1 0D5F Archaic II 0D76-0D78 Fractions-2 References: http://www.unicode.org/alloc/Pipeline.html http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2015/15124-dam2-chart.pdf http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0D00.pdf
Note that the same glyph for candrabindu 0D01 must also be taken for: 0C01 Telugu Sign Combining Candrabindu Above 0C81 Kannada Sign Candrabindu I don't want to submit a separate bug for that since the work is minimal. So please do it along with this one. Thanks.
Fair enough. I did not see U+0D5F still not available in Unicode 7. Can you provide list of characters available in Unicode and need to add in Lohit here.

Checked with Lohit Malayalam with Unicode 9.0 release following characters are missing: U+0D01, U+0D4F, U+0D54, U+0D55, U+0D56, U+0D76, U+0D77 and U+0D78

The only missing characters from http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0D00.pdf are 0D00, 0D3B and 0D3C which are expected for the forthcoming Unicode version as per http://www.unicode.org/alloc/Pipeline.html.
I mean, when comparing Lohit coverage with Unicode 9.0
