There is no harm in having a letter that
nobody uses, or one that has a wrong label,
(it could be used for a Berber language,
not for Arabic).
I am much less happy with both "kaf with
three dots above" and "keheh with three
dots above" encoded, although -- to the
best of my knowledge -- it was not shown
that they are not allographs.
I can show that in Morocco they are the
same letter.
This mistake -- if it is a mistake -- has
more serious consequences: two users (or
even the same users at different times)
may use different code points for the
same letter.
