ISO 639-3 (code for comprehensive language coverage) and ISO 639-5 (code for language
collections) will both use alpha-3 identifiers.
These two codes and the alpha-3 code will share a common alpha-3 identifier space. ISO
639-2/T and ISO 639-2/B will become subsets of the union of ISO 639-3 and

Doing font substitution on PUA code points was causing problems,
because we have found a lot of fonts have garbage entries in their
cmaps in the PUA, due to the implementation

I have made a proposal to the UTC to encode the Greek symbol
