And maybe this is a slightly more involved conversation, but I've always
wondered why there weren't private use Variation Selectors. I'm thinking of all
those old Byzantine Greek fonts that have a dozen different omicron+sigma
ligatures, and each one has to be allocated to a random PUA code point where it
loses its semantics, rather than Omicron + ZWJ + Sigma + PVS-X, where you can
still search for Omicron+Sigma and find the thing. Just a thought.
