I hope not. These were encoded there because they convey a specific meaning
when used for mathematics. If you use them to spell out names, then you're
abusing them and potentially confusing software that would rely on their
mathematical semantics.
I think it's time to have another proposal for French, FRENCH VARIANT
SELECTOR, where we do not use Fraktur but some other font variation. And we
may need a QUEBEC VARIANT SELECTOR if they have different rules... Or should
it be a QUEBEC FRENCH VARIANT SELECTOR to show the relationship?
YA
