the more ad-hoc our implementation is, the more challenges we create downstream for adoption in terms of Universal Acceptance.
This is an interesting point. But while it is plausible that adding new characters will have an impact on Universal Acceptance, that is not really a good reason not to add them. That would be a defeatist, indeed almost a circular argument. The whole point of Universal Acceptance is to get all languages and their scripts universally accepted, and deciding not to support some languages because it would make it easier to get the rest accepted is rather obviously against the spirit of UA, if not the letter. -- Tapani Tarvainen
