I was stating a general principle here. I don't know what particular encoding
issues may be associated with Phoenician, but few scripts left to be encoded are
so simple as to be devoid of any encoding issues. And in general scholars who
are experts in a particular script may not fully understand -- or be willing to
recognise -- the encoding issues involved. In particular, they may be unwilling
to accept Unicode's character-glyph model.
