It's nice to see a good selection of currency symbols defined in unicode, but I wonder if it might be useful to add a few combining marks for the purpose of constructing currency symbols.
For example, many currency symbols use single or double horizontal lines, vertical lines or solidi ( |, -, /, ||, =, // ). Having these available as combining marks would simplify the creation of new currency symbols, as many are simply overstruck letters. Would these be good candidates for proposed combining characters? Alternately (and I have no clue if this has been addressed), why not allow arbitrary combining characters? ZWJ does not currently work for this, but it could be amended to, or another joining character introduced.
