Bug ID: 167364
Summary: Khitan, Tangut and Nüshu should be treated as Asian
texts
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.0.0 alpha0+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Since these scripts were already introduced in Unicode, and they are all
inspired by Chinese Characters, it's reasonable to make them treated as Asian
texts.
Unicode 9.0 have decleared the following addition:
Tangut is a very large siniform ideographic script. It is the first siniform
ideographic script encoded after the Han (CJK) script. Its implementation
requires technology support similar to that used for CJK, including very large
fonts and radical/stroke input methods. Special adjustments have also been made
to the Unicode Collation Algorithm to account for the introduction of another
large ideographic repertoire.
Unicode 10.0 have decleared the following addition:
NushuSources.txt. This file contains normative information on the source
references for Nüshu characters. The file format is similar to the format of
the Unihan data files and TangutSources.txt. Implementations which support that
format for Unihan or Tangut data should be able to add support for Nüshu data
in a similar manner.
Unicode 13.0 have declared the following addition:
The Khitan Small Script is a new ideographic script, encoded for the first time
in Version 13.0.0. This is the fourth ideographic script (after Han, Tangut,
and Nushu) to use the range notation in UnicodeData.txt.
So it's clear that these scripts should be worked as other CJK texts, at least
they should be appeared in Asian Text Fonts properties.
