    But as far as I can see in the 6.0.0 UCD, the following superscript
    and already "Lm" characters are missing in Other_Lowercase:

    2071; SUPERSCRIPT LATIN SMALL LETTER I; Lm; 0; L; <super> 0069
    207F; SUPERSCRIPT LATIN SMALL LETTER N; Lm; 0; L; <super> 006E

    And those are exactly the characters that were moved from Ll to Lm
    not very long ago...

    Indeed, I would have also expected, in the 6.0.0 UCD, the following
    subscript ”Lm” characters to be in Other_Lowercase:
    2095; LATIN SUBSCRIPT SMALL LETTER H; Lm; 0; L; <sub> 0068; ; ; ; N; ; ; ; ;
    2096; LATIN SUBSCRIPT SMALL LETTER K; Lm; 0; L; <sub> 006B; ; ; ; N; ; ; ; ;
    2097; LATIN SUBSCRIPT SMALL LETTER L; Lm; 0; L; <sub> 006C; ; ; ; N; ; ; ; ;
    2098; LATIN SUBSCRIPT SMALL LETTER M; Lm; 0; L; <sub> 006D; ; ; ; N; ; ; ; ;
    2099; LATIN SUBSCRIPT SMALL LETTER N; Lm; 0; L; <sub> 006E; ; ; ; N; ; ; ; ;
    209A; LATIN SUBSCRIPT SMALL LETTER P; Lm; 0; L; <sub> 0070; ; ; ; N; ; ; ; ;
    209B; LATIN SUBSCRIPT SMALL LETTER S; Lm; 0; L; <sub> 0073; ; ; ; N; ; ; ; ;
    209C; LATIN SUBSCRIPT SMALL LETTER T; Lm; 0; L; <sub> 0074; ; ; ; N; ; ; ; ;
    but they are not (though several other subscript letters are).

    All superscript capital(!) Latin letters seem to be in Other_Lowercase, not
    in Other_Uppercase. A bit unexpected, but at least all superscript capital
    Latin letters are treated the same in this regard.
