History

The following Unicode-related documents record the purpose and process of defining specific characters in the Grantha block:

gollark: It's one of those accursed perluous things where you need runtime information to parse.
gollark: Still, I also don't think I can arbitrarily edit more abstract beliefs either.
gollark: I guess beliefs like "objects are not yellow" are among the harder-to-edit kinds since they're directly contradicted by the evidence in font of me.
gollark: Yes, and?
gollark: I can't really just go "hmm, today I will believe that all objects are yellow"; I can think about stuff like "what if all objects ever were yellow", but that isn't the same.
