<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi SignWriting List,<br>
<br>
I shared this information with Valerie this morning and she asked
that I share it with the list.<br>
<br>
Unicode 8 is soon to be released, and I noticed that some editors
on Wikipedia are starting to update the appropriate pages and
create new one.<br>
<br>
On the main SignWriting article, the Unicode section has been
updated.<br>

There is a new page about the Sutton SignWriting Unicode block of
code points. <br>

I added an info box to the page above.<br>

<br>
<br>
I also added a SignWriting Section to the Help section on the
Multilingual Support page.<br>

If you have the TrueType fonts installed on your system, the above
table will look like this:<br>

<br>
There are other scattered updates throughout the English Wikipedia.
More updates are needed. It is a marvelous work in progress. <br>
