Interesting approach. This should look quite pleasing in running text. If a new upper case glottal stop character were added to Unicode, I'd move the existing glottal stop glyph to the new upper case code point and make a lower case glyph which would match the "t" height and be a bit narrower than the upper case. This would represent a "typographic compromise" offering a distinction between cases while preserving, more or less, user expectations for existing data display. Best regards, James Kass .
