Ooops! it lowercase t, not uppercase. As I must correct myself, I take the
occasion to make a better decomposition:

        F666;ANTICHRISTIAN ALTERNATIVE LATIN SMALL LETTER T;Ll;0;L;<compat>
0074 20E0;;;;N;;;0054;;0054

On wonders: U+20E0 (COMBINING ENCLOSING CIRCLE BACKSLASH) probably exists
precisely to allow users to encode exorcisms for any unwelcome religious and
ideological dingbat:

        E089;ANTICOMMUNIST SYMBOL;So;0;ON;<compat> 262D 20E0;;;;N;;;;;

Unluckily, encoding anti-anti- symbols:

        E017;ANTIMACCARTIST SYMBOL;So;0;ON;<compat> E089 20E0;;;;N;;;;;

Poses big rendering problems, as the normalized string U+262D U+20E0 U+20E0
requires two level of enclosing.
