And must not be used after unassigned characters as well... But can we use them after PUAs, to render specific variants of characters in specialized fonts made for scripts without a current standard? Or should we encode all these variants as plain PUAs as well? I think for example about the 2 or 3 variants that exist for most of the 195 Mende-Kikakui syllables... (Of course we can encode all of them separately but there may exist some rule to infer which variant to use, or some local usages/preferences for the recognizable glyph).
