The document's author states:

    Although they could be made up of Letter + overlay diacritic, it is
    my understanding that the Unicode Consortium would prefer to create
    unique code points for these types of letters (e.g. recent
    acceptance of LATIN LETTER SMALL C WITH STROKE).

Is this true?

On the other hand, according to Wikipedia

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saanich_dialect

in 2014 there was "about 5" native speakers of the language.

Best regards

Janusz
