On a point of order, is deprecation of a character or collection of characters
carried out by only the Unicode Technical Committee or by both of the Unicode
Technical Committee and the ISO/IEC 10646 Committee?
Further to that point of order, is there any rule that absolutely prevents the
deprecated status of a character or collection of characters being removed?
I feel that by hybridizing the suggestions of Doug and Philippe that an elegant
solution using tags and an advanced format font could be designed.
