    Many fonts do have U+028B very much like U+03BD.
    The difference between U+028B and the new U+2C73 is the orientation
    of the hook.
    U+028B LATIN SMALL LETTER V WITH HOOK = LATIN SMALL LETTER SCRIPT V
    U+2C72 LATIN SMALL LETTER V WITH RIGHT HOOK
    U+2C72 would look like a tail-less U+01B4 in many fonts but it's
    really a v with a right hook, whereas U+028B is a v with a left hook
    or a script v.

    See http://www.unicode.org/alloc/Pipeline.html
    and
