And maybe this is a slightly more involved conversation, but I've always wondered why there weren't private use Variation Selectors. I'm thinking of all those old Byzantine Greek fonts that have a dozen different omicron+sigma ligatures, and each one has to be allocated to a random PUA code point where it loses its semantics, rather than Omicron + ZWJ + Sigma + PVS-X, where you can still search for Omicron+Sigma and find the thing. Just a thought. -Van
