With regards to U+0185, could it be said that the informative glyph in TUS 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 is a bit misleading, or does that glyph represent a variance from the text(s) with which you're familiar? http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0180.pdf Magnify U0180.pdf to 400% and put the row 0185 - 0195 - 01A5 towards the top of the screen so that the top of U+0185 touches the screen area border. Note that the top of U+0185 aligns with the top of U+0195, suggesting that these glyphs would have the same height. In THE LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD by Kenneth Katzner (1975), the example for Chuang seems to show a glyph covering U+0185 as you describe. (page 212) This page uses a scan from THE LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD as its Chuang example: http://www.worldlanguage.com/Languages/Chuang.htm No sample text, no lower case illustration: http://www.alphabets-world.com/chuang.html If the informative glyph in TUS *is* misleading, I'll be happy to make appropriate changes here.
