Unicode would be extremely helpful not only for non-Latin scripts but
also for a number of African languages which are basically Latin
alphabet but having a few special characters, either uncommon
accentuated Latin characters or characters that are entirely on their
own, like the four clicks in Khoisan languages represented by / // !
and the mathematical "unequal" sign. These have been a problem for us
in Namibia, with one of our main indigenous languages using those
characters, and we found a workable solution with ASCII graphic
characters on DOS CDS/ISIS by modifyting the isisac.tab which again
could be translated with some problems into WINISIS by modifying the
ansioem and oemansi.tab, but Unicode would definitely be much more
elegant.
