    This just isn't going to happen, so people should look elsewhere for
    solutions. I don't believe UTC could make such a decision and retain any
    sort of credibility. As has been discussed at length, it isn't possible to
    make this kind of change now because of the deep impact it would have on
    the frozen normalizations for these codepoints in deployed protocols and
    software.

    A solution with CGJ has been proposed, which is very general and can be
    applied to this and other such situations.
