The page said kTraditionalVariant of U+2B5B8 is U+9858 願. On U+9858 願 (http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=9858&useutf8=false ) said U+2B5B8 𫖸 is kSimplifiedVariant of U+9858 願, U+613F 愿 is kSemanticVariant, but 愿 is simplified of 願, not U+2B5B8 𫖸. 2011/10/19 Jukka K. Korp

There are three so-called "Yiddish digraphs" in Unicode: U+05F0 wawayim U+05F1 waw yod U+05F2 yodayim What is specifically Yiddish about these digraphs? They can be used in the same way in Hebrew. But this isn't done. Why not? http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%F8%E9%E9_%F7%E5%F8%F6%E5%E5%

I guess the situation is somewhat similar to the ff ligature or the German double s (ß): One cannot always tell just by looking at the text whether the two Vavs or two Yods are part of a double Vav or double Yod ligature or just happen to be next to each other. Jony > -Original Message-
