If there's something really missing for Catalan, it's a middle-dot letter with
general category "Lo", and combining class 0 (i.e. NOT combining).



The one thing for sure is that the Unicode Standard does not need to encode more middle dots:

00B7;MIDDLE DOT;Po;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;
0701;SYRIAC SUPRALINEAR FULL STOP;Po;0;AL;;;;;N;;;;;

(and that's not considering the lowered dots "FULL STOP" and the raised
dots)



There are also, including combining middle dots (most of these listed at U+00B7):

U+0387 GREEK ANO TELEIA
U+05BC HEBREW POINT DAGESH OR MAPIQ
U+2022 BULLET
U+2024 ONE DOT LEADER
U+2027 HYPHENATION POINT
U+2219 BULLET OPERATOR

What is U+2027 intended for? The name suggests that it might be what is needed for Catalan.
