Six of the seven
ccmp
overrides are for glotallic vowels which were how these characters were represented before their formal unicode encoding. Early versions of their unicode proposal involved simply adding an annotation for cyrillic psili for its use for these characters. I do recall explicitly seeing fonts that do this override but I don't remember names.The remaining override is for retroflex
q
which was apparently decided at some point that if a retroflexq
were to ever be considered, it would be unified withɋ
. The capital version (Ɋ
) needs no such override as it is officially an enlarged version of the lowercase, not aQ
with a retroflex hook.The two
APLF
overrides (not shown) are for UIUA for above and below.Zero Width Non-Breaking Space (not shown) is currently recommended for use as a byte order mark, and thus may either always appear at the beginning of a text file to show its byte order, or alternatively in its deprecated original purpose which is to mark a non-breaking point in the text stream (this use replaced by word joiner (
U+2060
) but it's recommended that the text stream handles the deprecated function if it appears anywhere else in the text but the beginning).Kayah Li Sign Cwi is a punctuation character originally intended for the Kayah Li script but as of L2/13-137 is now also used in Latin script, and is currently supported by Noto Sans/Serif/Mono (Latin) fonts as well as SIL's Andika/Charis/Doulos/Gentium/etc. fonts. Its appearance is similar to that of an inverted undertie but at half x-height.
