Liaison statement from SC 2/WG 2 to SC 34/WG 2 on ISO/IEC 10646:2003/FPDAM 8 [Response to SC 34 N 1401]
Graphic symbols are to be regarded as typical visual representations of the
corresponding graphic characters. This International Standard does not attempt
to prescribe the exact shape or colour of each character. The shape is affected
by the design of the font or other representation method employed, which is out
of scope. Although the representative glyphs in this International Standard are
consistently presented in black and white, it does not prevent implementations
from using graphic symbols with some specific colour or even with multiple
colours, fully or partly animated graphics, or both. When characters are
typically associated with a particular colour, conventions of European heraldry
are used to represent those colours in monochromatic line drawings in the code
charts. Furthermore, the usage of ‘BLACK’ and ‘WHITE’ in character names does
not imply a specific colour. It is simply a distinction between a filled
character and an outline character.
