Note, May 25, 2005: After the meeting it was discovered that LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH STROKE and LATIN SMALL LETTER T WITH DIAGONAL STROKE at codepoints U+2C65 and U+2C66 overlap with two characters approved in February (U+2C65 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER H WITH DESCENDER and U+2C66 LATIN SMALL LETTER H WITH DESCENDER as per Consensus 102-C10).
