There are some real users of Phoenician who have stated that they have a
need to distinguish this script from the Hebrew script in/ plain text .

/While there are technical means clearly specified by Unicode to
accomplish interleaved collation, and folding of two scripts, in/
plain text/ there is no other means to distinguish two scripts other
than by separately encoding them.
