Hi Donald,

Absolutely not!

SLS 1134 is the union of:

Set A = Set A1 Union Set A2 Union Set A3 = 0d80-0dff

Set B = 200C-200D

Set C = Cartesian product of A2 and A3

(Set C2 = Union of C and A2)

Set D = a subset of the Cartesian product of B, A3, A2 and C2

No. Set B does not contain general punctuation.

As I stated in my previous email:
"Set B consists of two elements, the magical ZWNJ and ZWJ"

When I say that Set B consists of two elements, why would list all these other unrelated elements. Set B consists of TWO elements, ZWNJ and ZWJ.

Before we continue any further, please answer these two questions with an explanation.

1. Can 0d85 encode a single Sinhala letter?
2. Can 0d9a0dcf encode a single Sinhala letter?
