Author:	Deborah Anderson
Linguistic Field(s):	Phonetics
FYI Body:	Feedback is requested from linguists regarding the encoding of LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH STROKE as a phonetic symbol (Unicode Public Review Issue #35). Description: At the February 2004 meeting of the Unicode Technical Committee, a proposal was considered to encode the phonetic symbol LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH STROKE. Some reservation was expressed on the part of some committee members, however, due to potential legacy encoding issues. A decision was made to give tentative approval of this character, but to prepare a public review issue to elici feedback on the pros and cons of encoding this character. The document, written by Peter Constable, is located at: http://www.unicode.org/review/pr-35.pdf . Please send feedback via the online form: http://www.unicode.org/reporting.html or you can send an email message to me at dwanders@socrates.berkeley.edu for forwarding. Deadline for comments **8 June 2004**. This is part of an effort to solicit feedback from users of the Slashed C. If you have questions, please contact the proposal author, Peter Constable (petercon@microsoft.com) or Deborah Anderson (dwanders@socrates.berkeley.edu).
