Philippe opined:I was meaning to ask about this. I'm all over not encoding Yet Another middle dot, but I was wondering. In my research on Samaritan, I've found that they frequently write (you guessed it) a middle dot to separate words (they like to use space to enable them to do this cool columnar writing thing). I was assuming that this could be conflated with someone else's middle-dot-word-separator; would that be U+10101?
If there's something really missing for Catalan, it's a middle-dot letter with
general category "Lo", and combining class 0 (i.e. NOT combining).
The one thing for sure is that the Unicode Standard does not need to encode more middle dots:
