That isn't the allocation shown on:
http://www.unicode.org/roadmaps/smp/
which shows 11E00..11EFF.
From a logical point of view, wouldn't shorthands fit better
in the Notational systems (1D000..1FFFD ) superblock than
in the African and other syllabic scripts ( 11800..11FFF)
superblock ? There is plenty of space in either superblock,
altho the notational systems superblock has more space
on both an absolute and a percentage basis.
