Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Old Latin/reply (3)

We have to ask what counts as representation. Unicode is very hard and rigid, because it concerns itself with the definition and underlying identity of characters, and not with their appearance. Unicode considers Old Italic and Latin to be completely different, and we have to adapt to that as we can't get around it.

I think it would count as an attestation, and I don't think there's any doubt about its authenticity thanks to modern linguistics. I think we have other entries that are based only on a mention in a third-party source. All of our Crimean Gothic entries are.
