Thank you; this is the clarification I was seeking. Now when our
testers complain that "this character looks wrong" I am justified
in saying "it's a typographical variant" ... at least for these
letters.
Our internal documentation on character sets supported (which I
am responsible for) quotes the Unicode 3.0 book's notes on these
characters. For L, we could note only that its caron appeared
as an apostrophe in the Unicode 3.0 book.
