This reminded me of something I wanted to ask about here:
In old Greek dictionaries, songbooks and other books where
pronunciation is important, I've seen an alternate letter used
for small iota where it's pronounced as a semi-vowel. The glyphs
I've seen are either a normal iota with a breve below, or
a turned iota with perispomeni (that is, the perispomeni
(or maybe a tilde) is at the bottom).
Now, the first one can be encoded as U+03B9 U+032E. As for the
second, U+2129 U+0330 seems like it should produce the intended
glyph. Anyway, in both cases this is the same character so I don't
think this is very appropriate. Is there an proper encoding for it?
Should be added to Unicode as a new character?
Thanks.
