The discussion then turned to whether this would add a lot of redundant
entries, but it's just 12, so I think that's fine.  It was also
suggested that there should be a more general mechanism to provide
alternative/fixed spellings for any kind of oddly-spelled Unicode
character, and that's true.

But in isolation, and because Emacs is a Lisp system, I think Noam's
patch makes sense, and I've applied it (with some cosmetic changes) to
Emacs 28.

If anybody disagrees, feel free to revert.
