VMs: Unicode & Voynich...?

[Nick Pelling <nickpelling@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

A few days ago, I examined the 1886 and 1900 editions of the Unicode 
telegraphic phrase book held by the British Library. Oddly, I could not 
find "Sessa" in the business index at the back of either - while "Sessito" 
was the nearest matching keyword. Note: the main section is sorted 
alphabetically by keyword, while the business section is sorted 
alphabetically by company name.

All the same, I don't know how telegraphic names were bought, allocated, 
maintained, or designated for inclusion in the Unicode phrase book. Perhaps 
if other editions (held by other libraries) were consulted we might be able 
to get a better understanding of what this means...

BTW, are there historians of this period of telegraphy out there?

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
