    If you feel these characters are so important, why don't you work on a proposal
    instead of suggesting others prioritise this? Few people are actually paid for
    encoding minority or historical scripts. People usually make proposals out of
    interest and/or because they need the characters encoded as part of some other
    work they are doing.

    Anyway how many unencoded Latin characters, which could not be composed of
    existing characters plus combining marks and diacritics, do you think there
    are?
