This is specifically a response to L2/24-021, the current draft of a new DoNotEmit.txt file meant for Unicode 16.0. One line reads as follows: 0149; 02BC 006E; Deprecated # LATIN SMALL LETTER N PRECEDED BY APOSTROPHE; MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE, LATIN SMALL LETTER N The character in question, U+0149 LATIN SMALL LETTER N PRECEDED BY APOSTROPHE, has had the Deprecated property since Unicode 5.2. According to L2/08-287, the character was deprecated because its compatibility decomposition used the wrong apostrophe character—RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK is the preferred character for Afrikaans, not MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE. The line in DoNotEmit.txt should use the preferred string instead of U+0149's compatibility decomposition. The line should be changed to: 0149; 2019 006E; Deprecated # LATIN SMALL LETTER N PRECEDED BY APOSTROPHE; RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK, LATIN SMALL LETTER N
