--- Comment #5 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalroz at technion.ac.il> ---
Using the master build  which Dieter linked to, I noticed the following:

* The character U+0x5BC _is_ one of the characters presented in the dialog, but
* The Dagesh/Mapiq (U+0x5BC) character is _not_ shown as placed inside the base
character, but rather outside and to the left of it (i.e. after it).
* If I choose to insert a Dagesh/Mapiq, the character at which it is inserted
is not affected, and indeed we see the Dagesh/Mapiq on the outside and to the
left.

That lead me to check myself again with 5.4. Well, I _can_ find U+0x5BC - I
didn't notice it before because it didn't look like a Dagesh, but rather like a
Shuruq. Checking that, it seems 0x5BC is indeed used for Shuruq when composed
with a vav (ו) character (too bad!). But thhat's not how it behaves with other
letters.

But it gets more complicated, since it's still the case - with both LO 5.4 and
LO 6.0 - that if I paste an U+0x5BC from an outside charmap I get a
Dagesh/Mapiq composed as I expect, but if I insert it using the Special
Characters dialog, it always behaves like a Shuruq.

Attachment to illustrate this forthcoming.
