    True for U+048A, but how about in U+0439 ? I believe U+0439 CYRILLIC
    SMALL LETTER SHORT I is canonically equivalent to 0438 0306 ? See also
    U+040E, U+04C1, U+04D0, U+04D6.

    (However, if I believe Yannis Haralambous[1] typographically the 0306
    used above Cyrillic letters has a slightly different glyph from the
    breve used let's say in API -- the breve being thicker in the center)

    What is « they » here ? We were speaking the Cyrillic short thingy, I
    believe.
