No support for U+FB1E (Hebrew Point Judeo-Spanish Varika) #27

Open VaultAusir opened 7 months ago

VaultAusir commented 7 months ago

The combining diacritic U+FB1E (Hebrew Point Judeo-Spanish Varika) is not supported, despite being a character very common particularly in writing Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) in the Rashi script.

The diacritic should combine at the very least with the following characters it has been traditionally used with:

U+05D1 (Hebrew Letter Bet): בﬞ U+05D2 (Hebrew Letter Gimel): גﬞ U+05D3 (Hebrew Letter Dalet): דﬞ U+05D6 (Hebrew Letter Zayin): זﬞ U+05D8 (Hebrew Letter Tet): טﬞ U+05E4 (Hebrew Letter Pe): פﬞ U+05DB (Hebrew Letter Kaf): כﬞ U+05E9 (Hebrew Letter Shin): שﬞ
