What? You think you're going to get comments from Bantuland on the
difference between florin and f-hook? They have other problems right now.
The correct solution is simply to add a new LATIN SMALL LETTER F WITH HOOK
(with some other name I guess) since we have identified an incorrect
unification, since the existing character is already heavily used as florin
-- unless Apple and Microsoft and the rest would jump up and say OK, we'll
remap.
