Unicode Status for Naxi Dongba
The Naxi Dongba Pictographic script is not yet in Unicode. The script has a tentative allocation at U+1A800..U+1ACFF in the Roadmap to the SMP
for the Unicode Standard. There seems to be disagreement on whether Naxi Dongba and Nakhi Geba should be considered the same script (see also the Unicode Status (Nakhi Geba) entry).
A number of proposals for its inclusion have been submitted to the Unicode Technical Committee and WG2:
