It's already encoded. It's already not troublesome.

Making up a word and using it over and over again
does not mean that the word has meaning or that
other people (especially experts in writing
systems) are going to believe that it is a word.
In any case we're encoding the significant nodes
in your *diascript. Similarly, Swedish, Bokmål,
Nynorsk, and Danish are distinguished, as are the
Romance languages.
