    Mongolian *script* absolutely requires the use of variation selectors
    FVS1..FVS3 [U+180B..U+180D] for all languages which use the script
    (i.e. Mongolian, Manchu and Sibe languages)

    Phags-pa *script* absolutely requires the use of variation selector
    VS1 [U+FE00] for Sanskrit language only (not required for Mongolian,
    Chinese, Tibetan or Uighur languages, but if you are going to support
    the script then you should support VS1 regardless of the target
    language).
