Thanks to you and the others who have enlightened me on this. It must be
quite difficult, though, for such people to navigate the Internet and
get to your Web site if their knowledge of English and their reading and
typing skills are limited. Unicode was thought to cover all the world's
languages, but this one seems to be impossible to deal with in that way.
Am I right in thinking that there is no written form of BSL?
I can see the value of a BSL display as a fixed interpretative unit in a
museum gallery.
