I have been advised that these are not plain text. I did once read that
there was a way of encoding vowels in the middle of a stack, but I never
found out what it was.
The only connection these details have with COENG is that I have
envisaged a horizontal combining control character for specifying such
sideways progressions in the middle of a stack. It did seem excessive
to have a third or even fourth set of characters, though we have been
assured there is plenty of space left in the supplementary planes.
