An assessment of the Unicode standard

[Neil Hodgson]

Benjamin Peterson:

> Like Sanskrit or Snowman language?

   Sanskrit is mostly written in Devanagari these days which is also
useful for selling things to people who speak Hindi and other Indian
languages.

   Not sure if you are referring to the ☃ snowman character or Arctic
region languages like Canadian Aboriginal syllabic writing like ᐲᐦᒑᔨᕽ
which were added to Unicode 8 years after the initial version. I'd guess
that was added from political rather than marketing motives. ☃ was
required since it was present in Japanese character sets.
