Please make it that U+0067 U+0327 display properly as U+0123!

U+0123 LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH CEDILLA
UTF-8: c4 a3  UTF-16BE: 0123  Decimal: ģ
ģ (Ģ)
Uppercase: U+0122
Category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase)
Bidi: L (Left-to-Right)
Decomposition: 0067 0327

Also would you mind providing a shape for U+A763 with a larger
upper loop -- i.e. more similar to the uppercase glyph --
at least as a stylistic alternative? The current glyph looks
cramped in a hard-to describe way. I suppose it's meant to
resemble early MSS shapes, but that seems to conflict with
harmonic glyph design in this case. (Admittedly my main
concern is to illustrate the origin of U+00E7 (ç) and that's
kind of hard with the current glyph; I'd like to have an
"intermediate stage" available. I guess a small-cap might do!)

Thirdly, do you plan to support the critters in the
Phonetic Extensions supplement? I use U+1DBB and U+1DBD
as diacritics for syllabic fricatives in Swedish dialects
(including my native dialect in fact!)
