Charles,
Regarding setting up a section on the Indic Texts Wiki
https://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php/SIG:IndicTexts: please do feel free. You
will need to register, but I don't think you need to be a TEI member to
register.
I think the DHARMA project has plans to create a list of such symbols,
which would presumably be represented by the <g> element in EpiDoc
editions. Whether and how those symbols would be displayed is a different
matter. I suppose the options are (a) represent the symbol as it is found
in the document, with an image; (b) represent the symbol with a "standard
form" (e.g., the "Jain Om" included in the Unicode standard; for symbols
like bhale, this is more complicated); or (c) represent the symbol with
something like "(bhale symbol)," making no attempt to copy its form. Does
anyone have preferences or experiences with any of these options?

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has been encoding/transcribing the bhale symbol, and how you represent it. It doesn't seem to have made it into Unicode yet.
As a follow-up to that, I was wondering if it was possible to set up a section of IndicTexts TEIWiki to document encoding/transcribing practices in current and past projects. I've thought a few times about putting together a document that just lists the different ways people have transcribed pṛṣṭhamātrās, virāmas, etc. that isn't covered in any specification.
Best,
Charles
