Convert cedillas under D to commas
According to Unicode 16.0.0 (chapter 7), U+0327 COMBINING CEDILLA is
ambiguous. It can mean an actual cedilla, but it can also mean a
comma below. This also applies to precomposed characters containing
it. Unicode recommends default forms for various letters and in
particular says that for D and T (upper- and lower-case) the comma
form should be the default.
However, Unicode now has a separate U+021A LATIN CAPITAL LETTER T WITH
COMMA BELOW and recommends its use for Romanian. So I think the
recommendation to render U+0162 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER T WITH CEDILLA with
a comma below is no longer applicable.
I have now updated Bedstead so that U+1E10 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D WITH
CEDILLA is treated as having a comma below instead. In practice, this
just means that it's unaffected by 'cv96'
All references to capital letters above apply equally to the
corresponding small letters.
