Quick accent #29178

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Could it be possible to add the glyphs necessary for the transliteration of ancient Hebrew?

In particular these letters:

0114 Ĕ 0115 ĕ 014E Ŏ 014F ŏ 018F Ə 0259 ə 02BE ʾ 02BF ʿ 0304 (combining macron, as it occurs to me there is no coded single glyph for p̄ or P̄) 1E06 Ḇ 1E07 ḇ 1E0E Ḏ 1EOF ḏ 1E20 Ḡ 1E21 ḡ 1E24 Ḥ 1E25 ḥ 1E34 Ḵ 1E35 ḵ 1E6C Ṭ 1E6D ṭ 1E62 Ṣ 1E63 ṣ 1E6E Ṯ 1E6F ṯ

Scenario when this would be used?

Transliteration/romanization of ancient Hebrew (or other semitic languages)

Thanks for checking. I don't seem to find any similar issue to the one I came up with.

Perhaps the glyphs above could be added to a full, language-indipendent "Hebrew - romanized" character set, in the same spirit of the "currency" set? In such case though, the set ought to include some of the already supported glyphs (Ă, ă, Ā, ā, Â, â, Ē, ē, Ê, ê, Î, î, Ô, ô, Ō, ō, Ś, ś, Š, š, Û, û).
