Good point, Chris! My only counter-argument is that Word's (or Excel's) Insert
> Symbol feature shows Tibetan symbols in a rather small, and sometimes distorted,
manner that leaves you guessing what they are. (If you ever need them, of
course!) Another, secondary, argument is that some symbols that
are currently implemented under Tise & Kbd_US are difficult to locate under
some European keyboards. (However, there may be better workarounds for this
issue, as suggested in my previous e-mail.) My inquiry for a pop-up window was actually triggered
by the fact that the EWTS escape sequence (for Unicode values) has not been
implemented in Tise. I can live well without this feature, but maybe there are
people requesting strict adherence to the standard? :-) Peter -----Original Message----- Linguasoft wrote: > > 4/ I wonder how other Tibetan symbols that haven't been assigned

often than not, used in non-traditional or inappropriate ways. Several characters are so infrequent that the majority of users don't know what
they are for. There are plenty of infrequent characters in the Windows ANSI set that are not usually *directly* accessible from US / Western European keyboards [ § © ® µ ¼ ½ ¾ ¤ ¥ ¢ ™ ‡ † ¶ • ] - and people are content to
use Windows Charmap or Word's "Insert Symbol for these. Why do
*all* infrequent Tibetan characters need to be *directly* accessible from
