Dear Unicoders,

FYI  I have just published ISO 15924 script code updates.
There are two new script codes.

The first is for the Seal script, or "Small Seal" where disambiguation is
desired. It is getting close to being encoded, probably within the next
couple of years.

   - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_script
   - https://www.unicode.org/L2/topical/seal/

The second one is a combination code, mainly for an orthography for writing
Taiwanese (Minnan) that uses mostly Han characters (traditional) but also
intrinsically uses Latin transliterations for syllables not easily written
with Han characters. There is a description here:
