What happened?

Characters with the Soft_Dotted Unicode property should lose their dots when followed by marks above (specifically, marks with ccc=230). Cascadia does not support this. This is a regression; see #386.

Here is <U+0069, U+0325, U+030A, U+006A, U+0325, U+030A, U+012F, U+0325, U+030A, U+0456, U+0325, U+030A, U+0458, U+0325, U+030A, U+1ECB, U+0325, U+030A>. Each soft-dotted letter is followed by two diacritics, one below and one above. All of the dots above the letters should be suppressed.

It appears that the code to implement this was left out of the most recent version :/. I'll fix it.

@aaronbell should I hold off on preparing a 2106.01/2106.02 release for a fix like this? Or is it more important to get the family name changes for the static instances out?

I have a fix that I can push up tonight. Was just waiting to hear from y’all on the other item.

It appears this was resolved in #511. Closing.
