Michael> Should Uighur HEH be represented by U0647? According to several
Michael> sources, Uighur includes a HEH character but does not have the

This is a good question.
From an implementation perspective, it is generally easiest to add it (and
maybe its presentation forms) into the Private Use Area. Otherwise some
language-specific processing might have to be done if Uighur Heh is
represented as U+0647.
I'm curious how others handle these situations.
