It should certainly be "pH", i.e., "<square>0070 0048</square>",
because that's the peculiar casing in widespread (universal, really)
use for this basic Chemistry concept (AFAIK it means "power of
Hidrogen"). See < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/pH#History >.

While there's no surprise at "PH" Unicode names being all caps, I’m
surprised that the decomposition mapping is wrongly set to 0050 0048
instead of to 0070 0048.
