Thank you for submitting this!

I am applying the “enhancement” label since as far as I can tell our new version supports more of this subset than the previous version of Ubuntu, and is not documenting a regression.

Aside from the glyphs that are missing, it looks like we could improve positioning by making the following minor changes:

— Add anchors to Ccedilla/ccedilla/Ecedilla/ecedilla, etc. (ḝ) — raise anchor above t (ṫ) — shift anchor below y (ỵ)
