	CDL Character Description Language
		The term "ideograph" is used in information-technology circles to signify 'the uniquely CJKV script entity', which is to say, "ideographs" constitute a certain subset of the "characters" to be found in Asian texts.
		The term "ideograph" in info-tech might also be understood to indicate that the phonological information conveyed is somewhat imprecise relative to strictly "phonographic" scripts (those using alphabets and isographic syllabaries to convey specific sound values).
		The term "ideograph" is not used in info-tech to indicate pure "idea writing" (circumventing graphic representation of speech), nor is it used to indicate the small set of 指事 zhǐshì 'indicative of the deed' Chinese characters.

	Proposal for a new Alphabetic Rapporteur Group (ARG)
		This does not imply that the characters discussed are unimportant, but that since there have been differing views as to their suitability for encoding in ISO 10646, or their suitability for encoding in the BMP of ISO 10646, a great deal of committee time has been given to their discussion, often without definitive action taken.
		It has been observed that the Ideographic Rapporteur Group has been an effective means for interested parties to work off-line on relatively large repertoires, and for prioritizing them with regard to their importance.
