The Unicode Souce Code Ad Hoc Group (SCWG) created by the Unicode Consortium in 2021 has been hard at work on a new Unicode Technical Specification that addresses concerns with the handling of source code written as Unicode text. An initial draft was recently published.

UTS #55: Unicode Source Code Handling

Please take some time to review the draft linked above and respond to this email with any corrections, questions, or other comments. The next UTC meeting is scheduled for January 24-26, 2023, so please supply any comments well in advance of that date so that the SCWG has time to consider them and make updates before the next presentation to the UTC.

Great thanks are owed to Robin Leroy and Mark Davis for the considerable work they have performed to produce the new TS!

Tom.
