Dear Mr Chen Zhuang,

in reviewing IRG#31 documents I have discovered that in the M set of
the UNC there are several cases of unresolved unification issues.
Hopefully these issues can be addressed before the UNC is submitted to
WG2. What would be the best way to try and resolve these issues?

Five UNC M set characters in particular seem to be unifiable:-

#006 is a variant of ¾Ã

#008 is variant of ½ñ

#130 is a variant of Éõ

#145 is a variant of ¿Õ

 Most of these are patterns that are unified in IRGN1499 Proposal to
Add a Set of Compatibility Ideographs for Government Use (Japan), and
several were listed in Annex S discussion documents, but not discussed
at IRG #31.

And there are some cases that should be considered more

Is #99 a variant of #100 ?

Is #151 a variant of º| ?

Is #162 a variant of ÃÀ ?

A closer look at the evidences may well reveal other cases.

Yours sincerely
John Knightley
