As you will see, I have requested precisely this clarification for U+0184/0185, to clarify that this letter is used in pan-Turkic alphabets as well as in Zhuang. I am also asking for a change in the reference glyph for U+0185, because in both Zhuang and pan-Turkic this should be much shorter, and distinguished from "b" primarily by its size.


In Pan-Turkic, though, it looks just like CYRILLIC SOFT SIGN in all the sources I have seen. For lots of languages.

Precisely. I meant that the glyph must be clearly distinct from U+0062, and so should be identical to U+0446. The Pan-Turkic glyph was probably really identical to the soft sign because printers would have used the same type wherever possible.
