Basically. Apple has been saddled -- largely by overzealous Far Eastern
font vendors -- with a lot of cruft in our WorldScript character sets. We
don't believe they should be in Unicode, but to provide round-trip
compatibility (and so that Unicode can be used as a hub when we're
converting between various Mac-specific character sets), we have to have
them somewhere. So we stick them in the CUS.

I'm sorry, you lost me here. What do you mean by Unicode level 2?
