This should not be a small square; it should be identical to U+00B7 to
which it is canonically equivalent.

Surely U+05BC doesn't have inherent directionality? I thought that
combining characters took the directionality of their base characters.
I was only including middle height dots. The list of dots in other
positions in much longer - at least four others just in Hebrew.
I wasn't seriously suggesting any of these as suitable for Catalan,
except possibly for HYPHENATION POINT.
