Should there not be a "UniGlyph" encoding, for use by font designers, etc.,
 which would encode these glyph variants? People who type text do so in
Unicode, then the font internally converts it to UniGlyph in preparation
for display.
If nothing else, UniGlyph would provide a convenient checklist of needed
glyph variants for a given font.
