Much of the work for this has already been done, but there remain some problem characters on which we really need the help of the author community to describe uses and distinctions from other similar characters. Further details are available from the math society web site at: http://www.ams.org/STIX/glyphs/proposal/newsub/challenge.html The AMS has set a November 20 deadline for receipt of this information, so there is not much time to act.
