FB1D, HEBREW LETTER YOD WITH HIRIQ, should be assigned to
the unknown
group. It is not a Hebrew character, notwithstanding the misleading
name.
To anticipate Michael: Of course it is. It's not used in
the Hebrew language, perhaps; but the Hebrew script is used
for other languages besides Hebrew.
The UTC refused to add Yiddish to the name, unlike the other Yiddish
specialties, and I am not aware of any other possibility.
Names are sometimes inaccurate, viz. ZINOR and ZARQA and the infamous
FHTORA. That doesn't change the meaning or utility of the character.
