3.5 We discussed the issue of adding 2 characters mentioned as #6 in WG2 N2390 (fromROK) and propose that they be added to BMP due to the following reasons:- When "" is represented as two characters, the space between "." and ")" is toowide and furthermore when they are at the end of a line, they could be split into twolines.

These symbols are used for proper spacing between period and quotation mark. They arealso used for word break. The word breaking can be processed programmatically;
however, since our own operating system does not exist, these are allocated separate
code positions. These symbols were included in the D P R of Korea national standard
KPS 9566-97 and tremendous data with those were piled up.

3.6 We discussed the issue of adding 9 characters for vertical writing and we proposethat they be added to BMP due to the following reasons:
