Categorise layouts by writing system #31

Closed GrimPixel closed 7 months ago

GrimPixel commented 7 months ago

There will be many layouts in the future. I think it will be necessary to apply ISO 15924 codes: https://www.unicode.org/iso15924/iso15924-codes.html.

Yeah, the current system is not exactly scalable. On the other hand, it's not something I'd worry about quite yet with the current amount of supported layouts. ^^

I'm also not sold that ISO 15924 is the way to go either. I doubt anyone will be asking for Linear A or Fraktur any time soon, and grouping most of europe into Latin isn't massively useful either (though I suppose it's a fun inversion to the old "eh, CJK is basically all the same, right? right?" trope).

Emm, looks like you are not so ambitious.

nightkr commented 7 months ago

I'm not saying it'll never be relevant, just that it's something we can worry about when we get there. ^^
