SignWriting Text Reference

The SignWriting Text Reference is a work in progress I hope to complete in 2013. The end point is a printed manual with a DVD of fonts, source code, and reference material.

Plain Text
The character encoding model for plain text strings is defined with coded character sets and character encoding forms. Read about text encoding in Modern SignWriting.

Rich Text
CSS styling of rich text use can use HTML or MediaWiki markup. Read more about SignWriting Rich Text in the SignWriting Icon Client.

RFC
The Internet Draft should be the basis for the Request for Comment. This will describe the plain text characters of SignWriting Text, both the ASCII strings and the Private Use Area Unicode. The RFC process takes a significant amount of time. Once completed, the SignWriting Text RFC will be stable, widely available, and will not expire.
