Hi all,
I noticed that double small parentheses that are used in professional printing 
in Arabic presses are not encoded in Unicode. Currently materials published for 
Internet or printed using Microsoft Word these characters are substituted with 
either double quotes " " or left and right double angle quotation mark «» 
Here are samples for these characters:

So does Unicode Consortium has an official position regarding these 2 
characters? Are they unified with left and right double angle quotation mark 
«»?
