Yes of course, I missed that one. But this means that it's an error that
Unicode (3.2 and 4.0) gives a compatibility decomposition of 1FBD into 0020
0313 instead of 0020 0343. But then of course the presence of 1FBD would
seem to be an error in itself because no one would ever need a crasis mark
on a space!
