    No, U+0192 is that character, and already has the correct
    properties for it. The challenge for the type designer of
    fonts for African languages is to design an f-with-hook that
    looks right in roman fonts and a italic glyph for f-with-hook
    that looks right in italic fonts.

    We don't need another *character* for this.
