Hmmm... Letter H is not two I's with a hyphen in between. But CH actually is
a C and an H, possibly joined to form a single letter.
But what about:
004A LATIN CAPITAL LETTER J
= 0049 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I
+ 0321 COMBINING PALATALIZED HOOK BELOW
[canonical]
0055 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U
= <font variant> 0056 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER V
[compatibility]
0057 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER W
= 0056 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER V
+ 0056 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER V
[compatibility]
And, similarly:
006A LATIN SMALL LETTER J
= 0069 LATIN SMALL LETTER I
+ 0321 COMBINING PALATALIZED HOOK BELOW
[canonical]
0075 LATIN SMALL LETTER U
= <font variant> 0076 LATIN SMALL LETTER V
[compatibility]
0077LATIN SMALL LETTER W
= 0076 LATIN SMALL LETTER V
+ 0076 LATIN SMALL LETTER V
[compatibility]
That would be a great example on non-English-centric encoding!
Ciao.
Marco
P.S. ;-) !!!
