Well, I might be in a different time zone.

I have in mind to reorganize your report into problem "kinds", which
would be easier to attack together.
This will result in a large number of small bug reports, but should be
easier to deal with than by face-Unicode.  But I'll do that myself.

One thing you might do...

If you could pick out any bugs that you regard as making a character
range unusable for its main purpose,
as opposed to being ugly or not quite right, that would be helpful.

Or:  Give me a list of yoru "top 10" bugs there.

Thanks!
