Proposed Solution

I propose to have the "comma below" implemented like it has already been done for the related characters U+0218 (Latin capital letter S with comma below) and U+0219 (Latin small letter s with comma below).

Context

The "with cedilla" version started to be used instead of the "with comma" by necessity, in the times before the "with comma" version was included into fonts and into Unicode.

This change would help align the 'Hack' font with Unicode by using glyphs which correspond to the descriptions of the character codes.
