<b-bar> = U+0180
<y-breve> = <y> <breve> = U+0079 U+0306

<k-bar>, however, might be missing. This one is quite frequent also in Semitic
linguistics, where a bar through some letters (b, d, k) means a spirantized
pronunciation of the plosive.

In some books about Semitic linguistics spirantized /g/ is shown as a Gaelic
<g>. Should this be represented with small letter yogh U+021D?

Best regards,
