Version 2.0 (16 May 2008)

Synchronisation with MUFI

As of v. 2.0 of the Menota handbook, the selection and encoding of characters have been synchronised with v. 2.0 of the MUFI character recommendation. This recommendation lists more than 1,300 characters in the Latin alphabet of potential use for the encoding of Medieval Nordic primary sources:

The MUFI character recommendation

The MUFI character recommendation lists Unicode code points and entity names for all characters in the file. Exactly the same entity names have been used in the Menota list of entities, cf. Appendix D.1.1.

The MUFI character recommendation and the Menota entity list are compatible with the Unicode Standard v. 5.0, published in July 2006. V. 5.1 of the Unicode Standard was published in April 2008. As soon as the MUFI character recommendations is updated with this revsion, a similar update will be made to the Menota entity list, probably before the end of 2008. In the meantime, the present entity list and MUFI compatible fonts can safely be used.
