Nor should you expect to be able to represent such things in plain text.

This example is also NOT a titlo. What I am looking for here, is the
possibility of using a conjoining middle mark for connecting the two
half marks of the inverted breve (in fact top create a long arc).
But I cannot use the middle conjoining U+FE26 on the middle letter(s)
with the U+FE20 and U+FE

When a newly encoded character is published in the standard, its code point,

in principle, the idea of a provisional status is a useful concept
whenever one wants to "publish" something based on potentially doubtful
