* Ayin Both Egyptian and Semitic transliterations commonly use the left single quotation mark to transliterate ayin, with Egyptian sometimes exhibiting a glyphic, i.e. font, variant. I submit that small transliteration ayin is already covered by one of the following Unicode characters, requiring us only to encode a corresponding capital form of the character: 2018 LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK 02BD MODIFIER LETTER REVERSED COMMA 02BF MODIFIER LETTER LEFT HALF RING 02C1 MODIFIER LETTER REVERSED GLOTTAL STOP
