Thanks. Script that processes Blocks.txt attached. Some questions:

1. In Blocks.txt:

  FF00..FFEF; Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms

In Emacs:

  (#xFF00 #xFF5F cjk-misc)
  (#xFF61 #xFF9F kana)
  (#xFFE0 #xFFEF cjk-misc)

Is ff60 (FULLWIDTH RIGHT WHITE PARENTHESIS) intentionally omitted?


2. In Emacs "olt-italic" looks like a typo ("old-italic"). Can it be renamed?


3. In Blocks.txt, Anatolian Hieroglyphs ends at 1467F.
In Emacs, it ends at 1457F. Typo?


4. In Blocks.txt:

  20000..2A6DF; CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B
  2A700..2B73F; CJK Unified Ideographs Extension C
  2B740..2B81F; CJK Unified Ideographs Extension D
  2B820..2CEAF; CJK Unified Ideographs Extension E
  2F800..2FA1F; CJK Compatibility Ideographs Supplement

In Emacs:

  (#x20000 #x2CEAF han)
  (#x2F800 #x2FFFF han)

Emacs adds the ranges 2a6e0:2a6ff and 2fa20:2ffff, which Blocks.txt does
not cover. Intentional?


5. Newly added "sutton-sign-writing" - should be "sutton-signwriting"?
(The case-insensitive source says "Sutton SignWriting".)
