I commented this case in second part of my reply, but if I somehow offended
you, please, accept my true apologizes for it. I did not mean you said
exactly that, but just referred to both possible interpretations of a
connection between a script and a symbol. Again, I am truely sorry and
apologize if even the possibility of such interpretation offended you
somehow.

?! This is completely out of my intention. All I want is to try finding a
neutral solution before the final (and irreversible) decision is made. I
would raise the same question if someone proposed GEORGIAN SOLAR SIGN for
the common dingbats block.
Again, I apologize if I offended you in my reply somehow.
