Latin Ligatures

Latin ligatures seem to be not as complicated as GreekLigatures. The number is much smaller and the single letters are fairly readable. However, a list of examples should be provided.

Latin Ligatures and Unicode

I think the character in question should receive an official codepoint. Better still, qꝫ and q́ꝫ should have separate codepoints. I am aware that this is against the official policy of no longer accepting ligatures. My argument would be that qꝫ and q́ꝫ are part of a limited list of characters contained in early letter cases. Yes, I choose to ignore problems of upright versus italics, "qꝫ" versus "q;", or what this would mean for the long and massively font-specific list of ligatures and abbreviations in early Greek letter cases. Still, it would be nice.
