7. Simple survol du curseur (hover).De pareils symboles pourraient avantageusement s’intégrer dans les syntaxes de description des formations de touches. Comme `Ctrl+Alt+X`.

I think I understand what's going on concerning the "Small Seal" vs. "Seal" inconsistency issue:
I guess I got confused by the #Unicode blog post mentioning a new "Small Seal" script, which made me believe that data files with "Seal" scripts and "Seal" blocks were inconsistent then, since the Unicode 18.0 *Beta* CodeCharts.pdf and NamesList.txt were also showing a new "Small Seal" block; in Unicode 18.0 *Alpha*, it was still a "Seal" block, so they are the ones to revert to the previous name... -

I just found incidentally this interesting document about Unicode code charts; still a draft, I believe it is new in Unicode 18.0...
🔗 https://www.unicode.org/Public/draft/charts/About.html
And of course, there is chapter 24 of the outstanding "Core Spec": About the Code Charts.

Currently, in Unicode 18.0 Beta, it seems that there is some kind of mess around the names of the new "Seal" script and new "Seal" block introduced in this announcement.
The name of the new script is "Small Seal" on the Unicode blog:
https://blog.unicode.org/2026/05/unicode-180-beta-review-opens-for.html
and the name of the new block is also "Small Seal" in its dedicated code chart:

Don't use nice looking Unicode arrows in your web application. They may come out quite differently depending on OS, browser and what not:
Check these guys on iOS and Linux
⬆⬇
On Linux they currently look like two ordinary arrows. On iOS they are rendered like buttons.

Compared to the full members list dated 2026-04-04, Amazon has disappeared and Google (re-)appeared. Great "substitution" magic trick indeed!
On a side note, the HTML page source code indicates:
<!-- List generated: 2026-04-20, 16:07:01 GMT -->
and tomorrow starts the UTC #187 meeting (2026-04-21 to 2026-04-23)...

The latest post on the Unicode Blog gives some important details about the future character repertoire in Unicode 18.0, notably the addition of 11,328 "Small Seal" ideographic characters, plus 965 "Jurchen" characters and radicals . It also offers very clear insights about the work of the UTC (Unicode Technical Committee) on CJK & Unihan characters, in collaboration with the IRG (Ideographic Research Group).

I had this pendant 3D-printed for my girlfriend [now wife].

The ancient symbol of Chaos is not represented in Unicode and that makes me mad.
Yes, for the symbol of Law We have ↑, but there is no symbol in which eight arrows all point from a common origin, each at one of the cardinal or intercardinal compass directions.
The best we have is ☸ but it's not made of arrows, is too circley, and is already taken by some stupid supposedly """ancient""" religion.
BAH/Humbug!

The #Unicode for the question mark (?) is U+003F

Das mit der kuratierten /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/de - Datei steht wahrscheinlich auf der prokrastinierenden #doDOList.Aktuell steht erst mal das programmieren der muscleMemory der neusten composeTastenOption und die Integration von Unicode into the memory an.
Interessant wäre auch, die irgendwo erwähnte EURO-#Tastaturoption zu checken, kann den Tipp hier auf diesem Server gerade nicht finden:

At www.unicode.org/charts a lot of symbols, characters and so on.
How to insert them in a website? With &#CODE; in the html, where the "CODE" is the decimal translation of the hex in the unicode charts.

- Technically speaking, Khitan Small Script and Yi script are not included (yet) in the data for non-Han ideographic scripts.
- The Jurchen and Seal scripts are poised to be officially added to Unicode 18.0 in September 2026...

Today I learned that the 64 I Ching hexagram symbols are all included in Unicode.
I'm fairly sure I'll never need to use them so I'll add it to my ever growing list of probably useless bits of knowledge.

Generally, new CJK Ideographs proposed by members of the IRG (Ideographic Research Group) go through several rounds of exchanges/discussions until they get approved or possibly postponed or rejected.
For instance, here is the page dedicated to UK-20538 ⿰㐅也 (with images as "pieces of evidence"), which eventually made its way to Unicode 17.0, encoded as U+323BF :

Many small communities have their own writing system. They must have a digital font for their language to be online.
For over 50 years #SIL has helped make #typefaces for local language communities.
#Google recently highlighted SIL's latest #font work: https://material.io/blog/sil-typefaces.
The SIL Open Font License is used by many font designers worldwide. #OFL is a libre software license so that fonts can be used, modified, and distributed without restrictions or fees.
