Unicode 11 Georgian uppercase vs. fonts

[Kent Karlsson via Unicode]

I know it is too late now, but... Could have added the characters,
without adding the case mappings. Just as it was done for the LATIN
CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S (ẞ), where the proper case mapping was relegated
to "special purpose software" (or just a special setting in common
software). The (proper) case-mapping for ẞ is nowhere to be found the
Unicode database (which I think is a pity, but that is a different matter).

I think "specialcasing.txt" is not really maintained anymore, but I'll
disregard that here.

One could add a special-casing for each modern Georgian lowercase letter
to (continue to) uppercase-map to itself (for the Georgian language at
least).
