    +AD4- But again, why aren't we using existing mechanisms - namely ZWJ +ADw-U+-200D+AD4-
    +AD4- and ZWNJ +ADw-U+-200C+AD4- for handling ligatures.

    In general, the effects of ZWJ and ZWNJ are optional. Thus if I use ZWJ in
    'Caesar', it is up to the rendering system as to whether I see something
    like 'C+AOY-sar'. (In some scripts, ZWJ and ZWNJ do have effects that are
    mandatory on rendering systems.)
