Hello!

What is the policy about encoding super- (and sub-) scripts in unicode?

In hebrew grammars the superscipt "a", "e", "o" and "ə" are used
for trascription of the Ḥāteffs and Šwa signs (U+05b0..U+05b3).

The nearest characters I found are U+1d43, U+1d49, U+1d52 and U+1d4a,
they fit quite well visually, but they are "MODIFIER LETTER".

So, shouldn't more superscripts be defined in unicode?

Thank you!
Petr Tomasek
