If this was possible, and only two special characters were required,
what about the possibility of allocating two characters in the
SPECIALS collection at the end of the BMP? Would that cause additional
problems that I had not considered? (Although subsequent emails do
list additional reasons for contents of tags also being different).
Looking forward to any comments
