John, there is NO magic in Unicode. Nothing happens "by itself".
DOTLESS J is a character in Swedish L�ndsm�lalfabetet, and Norway, Finland,
and Ireland will be proposing all that stuff in due course. We are
coordinating L�ndsm�lalfabetet with Dania and Norvegia, as well as with the

made available.
