[Did I already send a review?]

Some initial thoughts:

> +<Multi_key> <0> <c>                    : "©"   copyright # COPYRIGHT SIGN

Is it really useful to use <0> (zero) for that when <O> (majuscule oh)
and <o> (miniscule oh) are already there?

That also applies to § section and ¤ currency. 

> +<Multi_key> <exclam> <p>               : "¶"   paragraph # PILCROW SIGN
> +<Multi_key> <exclam> <P>               : "¶"   paragraph # PILCROW SIGN

The logic of the current Multi_key sequences (<Multi_key> <exclam> is
DOT BELOW for all current sequences where it preceses a letter) would
suggest that those two would be used for the strings "p̣" and "P̣".

Goog finds hits in wikipedia¹ (representing the IPA /pʼ/ in Riggs’ and
Williamson’s orthographies for Sioux), a usage in chemical symbols and
some hits which suggest that it may be used in latin transcriptions of
one or more of the script of India.


Other wise it looks good and applies.  With the caveats above,
