It seems that Abkhaz, written in Cyrillic, uses a PE WITH DESCENDER, but I can't find this case pair in Unicode. I am missing something, or do we need to encode those?


U+04A6, U+04A7 are used in Abkhaz for that sound, I believe.


Isn't it problematic to have the distinction between (MIDDLE) HOOK and DESCENDER for GHE (494/4F6), KA (4C3/49A) and arguably EN (4C7/4C9) but not for PE?

That being said, I am not trying to beat the master of disunification 8-) If we agree that 4A6/7 is it, then we need at least an annotation "can be rendered with a descender instead of a hook", or may be go all the way for a change of the representative glyph to use a descender, since that is the form used in both D&B and in the Abkhaz font.

Thanks,
Eric.
