For
1. LATIN CAPITAL LETTER EGYPTOLOGICAL YOD
LATIN SMALL LETTER EGYPTOLOGICAL YOD
2. LATIN CAPITAL LETTER EGYPTOLOGICAL AYIN
LATIN SMALL LETTER EGYPTOLOGICAL AYIN
I strongly suspect that current diacritics (for 1) and modifier letters (for
2) are similar enough in shape to what is required that they can be used.
Are there any other characters used by Egyptologist that are so close in
shape to ỉ and ʻ or ʿ that they cannot be used?
