I'm flipping between "why is there cuneiform Unicode" and "of course there's cuneiform Unicode" much more rapidly than I really expected

cuneiform isnt even that weird,
check out the multiocular O ꙮ
this was only used once in a single cyrillic manuscript to spell "many-eyed seraphim"

It's kind of infuriating that with trouble having been taken defining this single use character, people don't bother to render it correctly.
