Shouldn't 0F00 have a decomposition / equivalence to 0F6B 0F7C 0F7E?
It is essetially a ligature or precomposed form of those characters.
Shouldn't 0F7B have a decomposition / equivalence to 0F7A 0F7A
and 0F7D have a decomposition / equivalence to 0F7C 0F7C ?
Are 0F77 and 0F79 marked as <compat> because, once decomposed,
the subjoined RA [0FB2] or LA [0FB3] cannot easily be identified as part of
a vowel. (Most Tibeans will enter these in decomposed form anyway.)
Shouldn't 0F0E have a decompsition to 0F0F 0F0F?
==
0F14 TIBETAN MARK GTER TSHEG has an alternative name "TIBETAN COMMA"
this altenative is completly misleading and should be removed if possible.
0F14 basically has the same function as 0F0F - and is used in certain types
of text instead of 0F0F. Text that has this character instead of 0F14 is
"treasure text" [gter-ma] or revealed text.
==
PropList-3_0_1d2_beta.txt has:
<<
Property dump for: 0x20001000 (Punctuation)
...
0F04..0F12 (15 chars)
0F3A..0F3D (4 chars)
0F85
...
>>
The first range should probably begin at 0F02 instead of 0F04
as 0F02 and 0F03 are special foms of YIG MGO.
0F14 is also a punctuation character (just like 0F0F which it replaces in
certain types of text).
I don't think 0F85 TIBETAN MARK PALUTA should be counted as a "punctuation
character"
===
<<
Property dump for: 0x00800000 (Delimiter)
...
<<
0F0B
0F0D..0F12 (6 chars)
0F3A..0F3D (4 chars)
>>
0F0C like 0F0B is a word delimiter - the difference is a break cannot occur
after 0F0C while it can after 0F0B.
0F14 should also be included here for the same reasons as mentioned earlier.
0F34 and 0FBE should probably also be included here - although they indicate
something like "etc." or "and so forth" they also contain an implicit 0F0B and
can occur only at at the end of a phrase not in the middle.
