  • I think that Unicode implements Turkish wrong. I tried to make a proposal to Unicode, but, when I gave that for checking to someone involved in Unicode, I was told that such proposal would be futile because Unicode can’t break compatibility.

    Presently, there is a case pair of I where the small I is dotted, and the capital I is dotless, then there are separate dotless small I and dotted capital I. My proposal was that the common case pair of I would have unspecified dottedness, and there would be a separate case pair of dotted I and a pair of dotless I for Turkish.

    This was done with the idea that, in most languages, dottedness of I is just a typographic choice similar to the shape of small A. My proposal would enable fonts where small I is by default dotless like in the Carolingian minuscule but which support Turkish.



  • I read something about them (mainly in Wikipedia), and I see some parallels in artistic style or symbolism, but I don’t see a substantial parallel in their stories, although I didn’t find much about the story of Sol Invictus. I don’t see that someone was nursed as a significant parallel because almost every human was nursed.

    I focused on parallels in their stories because I don’t see parallels in the style of art depicting them as problematic to Christianity. But most of your previous comment was about artistic depictions, so, if you think that they are problematic, please, explain that more in details.
