The same principles of unification have in fact been applied to Latin 
and Cyrillic. Kurdish Cyrillic Q, for example, is unified with Latin 
Q. Within Cyrillic, quite different glyphs for U+0442, CYRILLIC SMALL 
LETTER TE have been unified. They look somewhat like T and m.

Latin letters that appear in ASCII cannot be unified with Russian 
Cyrillic letters because of the source separation rule. They have 
separate code points in some Chinese and Japanese character sets, and 
therefore must be kept separate in Unicode and ISO 10646. Basic Greek 
cannot be unified with either Latin or Cyrillic, for the same reason.
