I Introduction IGeneralization
Nshu is a kind of one and only female characters in todays world, which comes down around Xiaoshui Valley in Jiangyong County, Hunan Province. It is widely used for narrative and private prosecution among local women. Customarily Nshu characters appear to be italics ,with a rough shape as the Chinese character . In this sense, Nshu is defined as a variant form of Chinese characters. A character of Nshu represents an independent syllable that maybe records a group of homophone or a group of characters with similar pronunciation in their local dialect. Based on survey and statistics of the works of Nshu old ladies in the last generilaztion we can find, we found that everyone just used about four or five hundred characters to record a complete local dialect. There are two separate writing systems in Jiangyong: one is Chinese characters used by men while the other is Nshu which is written

Hunan People Press as the local textbook. B. Local women still use Nshu to record important things and create literatures. Some
examples: He Yanxin once writed to farm leaders to ask for help in Nshu and created many poems duiring the period of SARS; He Jinghua mourned for her son and comforted her daughter-in-law after her son died from a traffic accident and shared similar experiences with other old ladies in the form of writing letters in Nshu.
C. Local women would publish many poems in Hunan Daily especially during some important holidays such as He Jinghua.
D. One People's Congress Commissioner Hu Meiyue made a speech in the People's Congress of Yongzhou city.
E. Several Nshu handwriting societies have been built up accompanying with Nshu handwriting turning up such as Zhengzhou of Henan Province and Yongzhou of Hunan Province. Nshu is gradually used to write some poems of Mao Zedong, some logoes of welcoming Olimpic Games at 2008. Besides that, Nshu was sent to Foreign President's wife as a national gift. Up to now, some men share with the joys brought by Nshu and become Nshu lover.
F. The font of Nshu becomes to be a style of Hanzi such as Songti, Kaiti and Lishu. Now Nshu gradually comes into the times of industrialization; especially as a travel
resource.
IIIRelated research association and its function CFFSCFLAS is the short of The Committee for Females Script (Nshu) of Chinese Folk Literature and Art Society. It is a unique research organization in China. You can find its related rules through http://www.nvshu.com.cn/association/zhangcheng.htm. And it has rights to offer good advice to the government. And this organization suggests basic characters should be prior to be spread and popularized in the text book which is published by the Jiangyong Government.
II Process description (I) Choosing graphs 1. the collection and collation of Nshu characters
Chinese Nshu works collection which is published by China Publishing House at 2005 included more than 90% original ecological data. We identified every Nshu character of the book by finding its corresponding Chinese character. Besides that, based on the Chengguan accent which is investigated and published as Jiangyong dialect research by Huang Xuezhen, 1993, we make out the pronunciation of each Nshu character and establish a character table respectively in the order of strokes and phonetics.
The following table shows us the difference of the number due to the individual habit. The table shows us one of the statistic results of the book Nshu Character comparison.

Allographs are common phenomenon especially in the minority scripts. Because Nshu has not finished the process of standardization, and most of natural women knowing the script well went to heaven, many people or even scholars created some new characters subjectively. So if taking the later-created characters and all the into considerationNshu would lose its original appearance. The Committee for Females Script (Nshu) of Chinese Folk Literature and Art Society suggested to the local government that the representative graphs are prior to be taught in the school to make it normal. So the representative graphs are prior to be encoded first. We will deal with allographs in the later time.
In conclusion, the character set we propose encoding is the basic representative graph set, which is scientific and integrated. () Order rules
389 basic characters included different-origin ones are encoded. These graph are in good order by the amount of strokes from small to multi separately. And within the same amount of the stroke, we order them by their sound: finals, initials, and tones. There is a principle of the amount of the character: only two basic strokes existing in Nshu, the dot and the curve (mainly referring to arc), which is traditional writing rules for the Nshu elderly women. Even a circle is made up by two arcs. The final order: a ua ya ie u y u y i iu u yu y ai uai yai au iau ou iou uo yo u yn a ia ua ya o io i the initials order: p p m f v t t n l ts ts s t t k k h the tone order: we present them in the form of five-degree contour tone marks. ./44/ /.42/ /.35/ /.13/ ./21/ /.33/ /.5/ () Character names We name the characters with the Chenguan sound (spoken in the local town)which is the standard pronounciation of Nshu. Local women like to read Nshu in Chenguan Sound as a graceful action. Following the rules of naming characters of the UCS, we spell their sounds with Roman scripts. Each of the symbols and marks in the proposed Nshu character set ought to be of one-one correspondence with one code. (IV) About the font
There are no unified standards and rules for Nshu and many graphs seem vague. So after we picked the chosen characters, we invited the local calligrapher to write the picked Nshu characters one by one. Then we scanned the handwriting, processed it by Photoshop and use FONTCREATOE professional tools to make a preliminary font. the font of Nshu characters is greatly improved by Weifang Beida Jade Bird Huaguang Imagesetter Co., Ltd which is famous and professional in China. And the codes of characters begin from 1B000 to 1B184 with 389 graphs included. (V) Code-point table

III Prospects I Nshu is a kind of mature character symbol system. As a unique character type, Nshu is a new category to various characters in the world, a new kind of datum to the research of linguistics, and some new subjects are put forward such as how to translate Chinese works into Nshu. IIThere are large amount of literatures written in Nshu, most of which record some important historic events of the time such as Taiping rebellion, some crime of Japan when invading into china, land reforming movement in China. Besides that, some folkways and anecdotes are included. All of them are valuable historical data. IIINshu is a kind of one and only female characters in todays world, which is of great impetus to the research of female culture both in China and in the world. IV The important function of Nshu is to confide, hearken and communicate in the groups, which is made good use of to modern mind cure. It has a universal meaning in the world. Should this proposed set be accepted as a part of the plane of ISO/IEC 10646, it will facilitate the globalization progress of information processing with Nshu. The protection and save of some important data and further related research are more available and convenient for Nshu lovers.

Appendix D1 About the book of We Two Know the Script;We
Have Become Good Friends
This book has a good introduction and guidance about Nshu from the multi aspects to us.
The author got 719 basic graphs from 1535 allographs in 128 pieces of works with the total
number of 107,465. But something should be stressed here:
1 About the syllables
492 syllables are listed in all in the book which does not equal to 492 characters. As
stressed in the book, many of these graphs represent more than one syllable (P50), and
some syllables include more than one graph which are different origin from Chinese. but the
predominant relation is one syllable/one graph is right. In fact, based on the Jiangyong
Dialect Research by Huang Xuezhen, we published the Nshu character comparison (2006),
which contains 956 syllables with tones included. Take the syllable pa for example, we
listed pa 44 pa 35pa 13 pa 21pa 33 and pa 5, but in Chiangs book, there are only two:
pa55 pa44.
2 About the number of characters.
In Chiangs book, the figure 719 is adopter as a basis for further discussions (P50). But
due to different data bases and different ways of counting, Chen Jin and Zhou Shuoqi have
identified some 600 Womens Script graphs (P72). Chinese Nshu Collection contains more
than 90% ecological and original data of Nshu, with more than 220,000 characters. We
translated one by one, established two character tables, and do the frequency statistics to the
every graph. Based on that, we published the paper of the Nshu basic characters and their
origin verification in which we identified basic characters and merged variations according to
their frequency and the theory of Character-cell which has been mentioned above.
3 About the Chinese origin.
Chiang was uncertain about the actual origin of the Womens script, as is mentioned there
is no evidence on actual origin,all said, the only concrete evidence I have concerning the
origin of the script is its close connection to Hanzi. (P49) But the book does not list all the
Chinese origin of Nshu characters. we have discussed the relationship between Nshu and
Chinese characters above, and the paper Nshu basic characters and their origin verification
showed us almost all the Chinese origin. We scientifically and objectively tried our best to
52
seek the Chinese Origion, although some variants appares and some graphs confused/.We will make a corresponding mapping between Chinese origin and the Nshu basic character in the appendix of this report. 4 About the amount of stroke.
In Chiangs book, basic graph strokes include slants from upper right to lower left and
upper left to lower right, circles, dots, and curves.(P51). That is to say, there are four basic
strokes. But according to our investigation from the old natural women, only two basic
strokes constitute the script. One is the dot dian, the other is curved arc hu. There exist
many variations in the process of its spread and spelling by different people. Concretely
speaking, the circles are made up by two curves (arcs), not a stroke. So we count the amount
of stroke following the rule of two basic strokes strictly.
53
Appendix D2 About Nuhan Dictionary of Chen Qiguang There exists a huge dictionary in china: Nuhan Dictionary, which is known by some foreign
experts. But this huge dictionary contains more than 3400 characters. We need to make an essential explanation.
The following three points should be stressed: First, we scanned and photocopied all the original works, and cut and saved all the
characters one by one from the photocopied pictures rather than imitate. We listed the frequency of all the characters by counting and by comparing the difference among different individuals from all the works as far as we can find. According to the basic theory about the character cell and the frequency, we regarded the characters with the highest frequency as the basic characters, which have been submitted to UCS and UTC as a proposal.
But all the characters in Nuhan Dictionary is written by the author himself, some of which is faked and created by him. They have never photocopied one character from the original works. Besides that, they have not done the limited and completed statistics to support themselves.
Second, all the data that Nuhan Dictionary followed and relied on is the collected data from Tsinghua University other than one piece of work that was collected by his student Mao Zhenlin instead of him.
Chinese Nshu works collection was published by Tsinghua University Publishing House in March, 1992, which was supported by President Fund of Tsinghua University and sorted out and translated by Zhao Liming and Zhou Shuoyi (the local manager of culture field). In order to explain that Nshu doesnt have relationship with Yaoyu (a language of minority), we invited Chen Qiguang from The Central University for Nationalities, the expert of Yaoyu and the author of Nuhan Dictionary to attend our project. Chinese Nshu works collection contains 629 pieces of works, but Chen Qiguang provided only one piece from his student. As early as the end of eighties of Twentieth Century, Mr. Chen arrived in Jiangyong, but went to hospital for cure since the second day.
On the international discussion forum of Nshu in 2004 which was held by Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Mr. Chen announced that he would have more than 400 pieces of Nshu works to publish. At that time, we started to realize he had copied all the original data from Chinese Nshu works collection which we translated every word and sentence one by one and with the original sample following.
Third, Nshu Character comparison and Nshu basic characters and their origin verification which has been in the attachment in our proposal has been published and discussed on the international discussion forum of Nshu in 2004. All the members of the conference got one copy, including the author of Nuhan Dictionary. That is to say, Nshu Character comparison and Nshu basic characters and their origin verification were published
54
first, and the Nuhan Dictionary came out later. So obviously Nuhan Dictionary referred to the Nshu Character comparison and Nshu basic characters and their origin verification, but the author has never mentioned that.
Then lets focus on the statistics of 3400 characters in Nuhan Dictionary. As an independent kind of script that can record the language, there must be inner rules.
That is to say, the most widely acceptance and convenience is necessary. So the use of basic characters are determined by the principle of economy when the script is regarded as a communicating tool. As a kind of script system which is used by rural women, it is impossible for them to have a huge and complicated script system such as three or four thousand characters included. It is possible and necessary for a good and responsible professional researcher to make up the data with the guidance of academic theory and scientific attitude. The theory of character cell is a good and important guide to deal with allograph and standardization for the consideration of its inheriting and usage.
The frequency of the characters is ignored by Nuhan Dictionary, nor listed all the allographs mapping to one character. It is inconvenient for the user to check and choose the normative graphs to use and useless for the researcher to clarify the basic graphs and make up a standard. It is said in preface there are 3400 characters in all. We can take an example of (an) to find him how this number was calculated.
We can find about 17 (an) at least by doing a rough statistic. There are nine graphs who have eight strokes, and six in seven strokes, and four in six strokes, which can be found at the page of 196,197,141,142 and 96 as following:
