Hi Steve,
Yes this makes sense,  we want the first to be horizontal, second right 
diagonal upwards,etc.  The valid rotations are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 so there 
has to be something there even though it doesn't bring anything 
meaningful to the alfabet.   Maybe instead of trying to make each base 
symbol and complete rectangle of fills and rotations (or matrix) of 
symbol but rather just have table with the ones that are valid.  We have 
to look up the valid fills and valid rotations per base symbol anyways.  
So I'm not seing the advantage here.  The last four in the first column 
here ISWA2010 could map to the first 4 in ISWA2020 as would the first 
four.  Correct me if I missed something here.

Same comment as above.

Thanks
