« In any case, the argument for “atomic characters” was nothing more than “font developers won’t know how to draw it”, which is pretty poor argument given the simplicity of this feature and the complexity of many scripts in the standard. It’s a loop that attaches to the base character in a convenient way. I proposed a Unicode Technical Note on the typography of the character but never received a response to that. »
