[LUGOS-SLO] Code for Bohorič alphabet?

[Martin Srebotnjak]

Hello,

I guess it is just that the ISO-15924 standard should be officially
extended with the "Boho" code.

Here is a notice of changes from ISO of that standard:
http://unicode.org/iso15924/codechanges.html

This means they regularly add new scripts if  there is a reasonable request.

And here are the rules about adding new scripts (see article A.3.3):
http://www.unicode.org/iso15924/standard/index.html#annex

So I guess the application for "Boho" must be officially presented to
the correct ISO body. :)

Lp, m.

> First, I'm not sure if it even qualifies as a "script", as e.g. I can't find a script for old English which used the long s, but maybe because this only substitutes one character for another - with Bohorič  it's more complicated.
> Even taking it as a script (so I could write sl-Boho), http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/CH.html#CHSH does say that they should be taken from ISO 15924, http://unicode.org/iso15924/iso15924-codes.html and there is no Boho there; I also can't find an extension mechanism as there is with languages.
