And you've truncated the end of my sentence : yes technically they could still be encoded, but they would NOT be canonically equivalent to the existing encoding using existng letters and existing combining macron. This would create *distinct* clusters that would be highyl confusable, and this is generally not wanted because this would effectively create a new disunification. In other words, this duplicate encoding (without canonical equivalence) is not needed and not desirable.
