    Which is not a valid reason either, considering that U+0F69 and the
    combination U+0F40 U+0FB5 are *canonically* equivalent. This means that
    normalizing applications are not allowed to treat U+0F69 differntly from
    U+0F40 U+0FB5, including displaying them differently or mapping them
    differently to something else.
