Hi,

right-facing, tilted .....the whole deal, should be
encoded
This looks to me like the ideal place for an extended
note in Unicode, not a code point.
The note could describe the graphic differences
between the existing code point and the Nazi version.
All the names used elsewhere in Asia etc should be
part of the note.
Some things are really too evil to facilitate even in
a small way in a computer code.
When I was 25 and pregnant, I read a book about Jewish
history in gentile "Christian" culture, focusing on
the history north and west of the Caucasus (supposedly
things were different in Caucasian Christianity) and
south and east of Scandinavia/Ireland (where
supposedly things have been different also most of the
time).....The book is called
The_Anguish_of_the_Jews:__23_centuries_of_Anti-Semitism_
(Father Edward Flannery)
Best read with a bottle of whiskey, tequila or vodka
to dull the pain...expect nightmares.
Elaine
