The alphabet and it's extensions are now tabulated at :

More explanation to follow but note that Sadyam, ?alpam & Taytam are
only retained as numerals (90, 1,000 & zero).

I'd be interested in staking out a bit of Unicode territory for these
characters, but just what is and isn't a character??

e.g. the combination "LI" (see p.3) could be treated as a "ligature" to
be coded separately, or as "L" plus a diacritic "I", or as two
separate characters with very close kerning. I assume there are
guidlines for this sort of thing.

P.S. Thanks to Jim Hopkins for encouraging comments off-list. I accidently
deleted you message before I'd replied to it -- sorry. Is there a Druni
website?
