I hadn't noticed the new Number Forms.  OK, they're easy, I'll put those in.

I remain unconvinced about the deprecated punctuation.

It seems other font-makers have found U+206A-U+206F worth adding - they are populated in Times New Roman, Arial, Segoe UI Symbol, Google's Noto, DejaVu, Fedora's Liberation, and others.

They would be mostly for the sake of completing the General Punctuation range. It seems like it would be simple to do, since they are invisible and zero-width.

And note that U+218A-U+218B are just the digits 2 and 3 rotated 180 degrees.

Hi David,

According to the Unicode Code Charts, U+206A-U+206F is deprecated and the use of the characters strongly discouraged.  This is FreeFont has no corresponding entries

 Is there a good reason to populate those code points, or is it better to leave them empty?

The range U+218A-U+218B came out last year with Unicode 8.  I'll have a look!

Thanks!

These look like they would be pretty easy, and would complete two Unicode ranges:

U+206A-U+206F : Zero-width invisible formatting characters, to complete General Punctuation.

U+218A-U+218B : Inverted 2 and 3 duodecimal digits, to complete Number Forms.

Thanks.
