Or
\setmainfont[RawFeature={-invisible}]{Noto Sans Manichaean}
(pointed to me by Frank Mittelbach)
which refers directly to the Unicode character property discussed in
L2/02-368 (http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2002/02368-default-ignorable.pdf)
and https://github.com/latex3/luaotfload/issues/63.

That's the command I need! Either I haven't noticed it at all or forgot
about it :-(

Looks like it can be found in the ttx output in *.GlyphOrder.ttx,
e.g. <GlyphID id="58" name="uniFE00"/>.
Thanks once again!
