Why is this new zero-width ligator being proposed, rather than overloading
the existing zero-width joiner with this new function? (ZWJ currently has no
defined meaning for European scripts, right?)
Will the new ZWL be used also for non-European scripts? Particularly, what
would be its meaning with Indic and cursive scripts (Arabic, Mongolian,
Syriac)?
Regards.
