However, they are encoded in the C0 Controls and Basic Latin block. mp1_wash-care-symbols-m54_1 Standard References * How to propose emojis to Unicode * How to propose other additions or changes to Unicode (required form, email address: docsubmit@unicode.org) * Unicode document submission form The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered: 85 1 [?] 12 @Crissov Copy link Owner @Crissov Crissov commented Mar 10, 2018 I think I remember having seen a failed proposal to encode some of them , will need to check. @spixi Copy link Author @spixi spixi commented Mar 10, 2018 @Crissov Do you mean that mail here? http://unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2003-m06/0274.html @Crissov Copy link Owner @Crissov Crissov commented Mar 10, 2018 This could very well be it. I think I was subscribed to the mailing list back then. @Crissov Crissov added the not emoji label Oct 18, 2018 @Crissov Crissov changed the title [DEL:Textile care symbols [non-emoji!]:DEL] [INS:Standard Textile Care Symbols:INS] Oct 18, 2018 @nbeaver Copy link @nbeaver nbeaver commented Apr 22, 2021 Note also ISO 3758, which dates back to 1991. @PabloReszczynski Copy link @PabloReszczynski PabloReszczynski commented Apr 22, 2021 Forgive me if this has been asked before, but aren't these symbols trademarked? Would font makers, or Unicode Inc. require a license to reproduce these symbols? The five care symbols are protected trademarks in most countries. They may not be reproduced, issued or used without a special license agreement with GINETEX, co-owner of the trademarks together with COFREET. This Intellectual Property license agreement commits companies to use the symbols correctly at all times. Source 2 @8HoLoN Copy link @8HoLoN 8HoLoN commented Apr 22, 2021 * edited There is a lack of the unit in the name column : THIRTY DEGREES => THIRTY DEGREES CELSIUS 3 @spixi Copy link Author @spixi spixi commented Apr 22, 2021 * edited @PabloReszczynski Good point, but I am pretty sure that the glyphs do not have enough threshold of originality for a copyright. Regarding trademark right: GINETEX only has a trademark on the combination of the five care symbols in one picture and this also only applies for certain Nizza classes (e. g. leaflets about textile care, marketing and consulting services, but not for the textiles themselves). Note that the protectability of the textile care symbols may vary between different countries! For example, for Germany I found: https://register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/register/3020090190313/DE (Nizza classes 35, 37, 41, 42, 45) https://register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/register/3020180219248/DE (Nizza classes 9, 37, 40, 41, 45) https://register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/registerIR?AKZ=849319 (covers all kinds of textile products, non-textile labels, information and consulting services and software, not protectable in Germany, but possibly in other European countries) https://register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/registerIR?AKZ=849320 (covers all kinds of textile products, non-textile labels, information and consulting services and software, not protectable in Germany, but possibly in other European countries) @8HoLoN The glyphs are also lacking a unit. Character descriptions should match the glyph appearance and not add additional semantics. 2 @8HoLoN Copy link @8HoLoN 8HoLoN commented Apr 22, 2021 @spixi I strongly disagree, unit is crucial, the fact that the glyph does not contain the C is not relevant because some of glyph does not include deg character meanwhile the name includes Degrees. So, to get full meaning you should get the unit. @spixi Copy link Author @spixi spixi commented Apr 22, 2021 * edited @spixi I strongly disagree, unit is crucial, the fact that the glyph does not contain the C is not relevant because some of glyph does not include deg character meanwhile the name includes Degrees. So, to get full meaning you should get the unit. @8HoLoN I understand, that's a good argument. I found another reference sheet which also uses the dotted annotation used in the USA and Canada. It also has four additional symbols for dry cleaning, I have never seen before. They are also included in Wash Care Symbols M54. Does someone know if they are also part of ISO 3758 or any national standard? Wash_Care_symbols @spixi Copy link Author @spixi spixi commented Apr 22, 2021 I added the Celsius and also the four tangents for additional dry-cleaning instructions. 1 @idontusenumbers Copy link @idontusenumbers idontusenumbers commented Apr 22, 2021 A lot of these seem like a good match for ligatures or modifiers; having a code point per temperature seems unsustainable/unnecessary. 1 Sign up for free to join this conversation on GitHub.
