William, it seems like every time you contribute to a thread, you are suggesting new code points. There are no new code points needed for digraphs. Period. Unicode already has everything needed to encode digraphs with aplomb! This goes for Sean's suggestions, as well: they aren't needed.

I'd encourage you to wait for people who really know and understand Unicode to comment on someone's suggestion before you start suggesting code points to see if they're even needed. After all, you've only got 6000 PUA codepoints in the BMP, and you probably don't want to run out of those too soon (given that plane 15/16 codepoints are unusable on older systems, which I recall was a concern of yours).
