1. In Hebrew it would be Yod Hiriq Yod Dalet Hiriq Yod Shin, when fully
pointed. The proposed letter would have to be Hiriq Yod, the Hiriq
attaching to the preceding letter. This (representing the Hebrew vowel full
Hiriq) was included in the early drafts of 10646 but was later dropped.
2. A character used solely for Yiddish should be named accordingly.
