As for the requirement for distinct upper and lower case variants of
ayin, I understood that there was a similar requirement in some minor
Cyrillic languages, at least for apostrophe and double apostrophe.

My point is that you didn't call it ayin. Neither did the ancient
Egyptians as this

EGYPTOLOGICAL AYIN? I don't think it is either U+02BD or U+02BF.
The former is a reversed comma, the latter a half-ring. And neither
has a capital, as the Egyptological character has.
Michael, it is very clear to me that the Egyptological ayin is

I do not want to add a combining
Egyptological ring-thingy to Unicode. It is not a productive mark. A
capital and small letter i with a deformed dot is what's needed,
that's all.

What are you using for ayin? If you are using U+02BF, you might consider
using U+02BE as an interim for aleph, and

Actually the sign similar to 3 is used for `ain, `ayan, not aleph.
Normally U+02BE is used for aleph, though sometimes slightly extended.
Paul James Cowie scripsit:
It would be great, though, to
have access to purpose-encoded characters for the conventional Egyptian
aleph (3) and yod (i with a half-ring) that don't rely on combinations
or workarounds.
I quite agree about the 3-like character (which for whatever reason is
