Version 1.03 uh
Installed: Thursday, August 04, 2016, 11:03:34 AM onto a Win7 machine with Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
1a. When using MS Word (of MSOffice Version 14.0.7232.5000 (32-bit)) [yes, I know my machine is getting to be old], the combining diacritics found in the NOTO Font family does not combine with the UCAS glyphs. This is an issue because although many glyphs are precomposed with either the dot above or ring above, having the ability to place the combining diacritics onto other characters that do not have the precomposed forms would be advantageous, especially for the various Athapaskan languages who then could use the combining acute, combining grave, combining circumflex, combining breve, combining diaeresis, and combing ring above to notate their pitch accent, provide differentiation to a character that may map out to two or more sound values in speech, as well as providing potential cross-language use of certain glyph form sets. This would also allow for the Dot Above to be placed on the ᐁ ᐯ ᑌ ᑫ ᒉ ᒣ ᓀ ᓓ ᓭ ᔐ ᔦ and on barred ᓭ (see below) for Syllabics use in Fox and Sauk.
1b. Create in the Private Use Area the following combining diacritical marks specific to UCAS:
Combining Middle Dot (found already in precomposed shapes such as ᗎ, ᘌ, ᘲ, and ᙫ)
Combining Small Vertical Line (found already in precomposed shapes such as ᘅ, ᘑ, ᗸ, ᗫ)
Combining Ojibwe L (a ᓫ which as a diacritic that sits above ᓀ ᓂ ᓄ ᓇ)
Combining Ojibwe R (a ᕑ which as a diacritic that sits above ᓀ ᓂ ᓄ ᓇ)
2. Unlike the full-sized glyphs that typically represents an open syllable, the Finals that represent syllable coda typically are placed in a superscript position. However, in Athapascan use, the Finals need the ability to placed at the superscript position, mid-line position, and low line position, where some identically shaped Finals end up with different sound values depending on their placement height. I would like to suggest NOTO shift these Finals to a mid-line position, which then could be easily superscripted or subscripted for these contextual variations. Currently, only these two are available as a mid-line Finals: ᕀ ᕁ but some systems will display that identically to these: ᐩ ᕽ. Other finals need the ability to be placed at different heights.
3. Some of the current glyphs by design are asymmetrical or are missing forms. I would like to suggest filling in these gaps in the Private Use Areas, such that the missing forms that result in what otherwise would be an asymmetrical representation of a shape set would then, at least from a set standpoint, would have the necessary pieces to make each set be symmetrical. Some forms that would be included in this void-filling would include
The full-height form-equivalent to ᔿ to go with ᓫ ᓬ and ᕑ ᕒ, and their W-shaped counterpart to complete the set.
Complete the ᖠ ᖢ ᖤ ᖦ set to be in parallel with ᓓ ᓕ ᓗ ᓚ ᓪ set.
Barred ᓭ ᓯ ᓱ ᓴ ᔅ set to be in parallel with ᖧ ᖨ ᖪ ᖬ ᖮ set.
Barbed ᓭ ᓯ ᓱ ᓴ ᔅ set to be in parallel with ᖠ ᖢ ᖤ ᖦ set.
Reversed ᘖ to complete ᘔ ᘕ ᘖ and inverted ᘚ to complete ᘗ ᘚ ᘛ
Alternate ᖕ based on the ᓐ ᒃ ligature rather than on the ᓐ ᒡ ligature
Alternate ᖖ based on the doubling of the ᓐ ᒃ ligature
A ᖖᒉ ligature to complete the ᙱ ᙳ ᙵ set
Superscripted ᐊ and ᐅ to complete the ᐞ as a Final.
4. Currently missing from Unicode and would be nice to have also in the Private Use Area is the now obsolete SP series (which resembles Z {reversed Z} N И in form).
Here is feedback from Ray Larabie to Unicode about some potential issues with Cree shapes in the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics font:
Someone familiar with the Cree language let me know, on Twitter that there was a problem with the "sh" series. From 1510-1525 is a range of "sh" characters that are only used in the Cree language. Like many UCAS characters, it pretty much involves a shape that's flipped and rotated, with added dots. The vertical characters that look like a "sine wave" are fine. The problem is with the rotated form. The sine wave shape should be rotated until is looks like it's lying flat. It should look a little bit like a tilde. But in the current Unicode chart, it looks more like an upright S. I've been told that fonts using this shape are unusable. Since a lot of OS fonts are using this incorrect form, it's causing quite a problem for Cree people. Here's a sample image showing my recommended changes.https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19433025/cree-changes.png
Kevin Brousseau, the person who contacted me on Twitter created this PDF explaining the problem:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19433025/sh-series.pdf
If you click the "view All" button, you can see the inconsistency. http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1515/fontsupport.htm
UTC will look into this in its May meeting, but in the meanwhile, I think Monotype folks should look into it to see if it's a valid report.

Version 2.000
Noto Sans Canadian Aboriginal covers some extraneous characters not used in Canadian Aboriginal syllabics. They should be removed.
ıˇ˘˙˚˛̇
U+0131 LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I
U+02C7 CARON
U+02D8 BREVE
U+02D9 DOT ABOVE
U+02DA RING ABOVE
U+02DB OGONEK
U+0307 COMBINING DOT ABOVE
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Morphological items within a Cree word are often separated in the Latin orthography by a hyphen. Recently, users have begun to separate such morphemes in the UCAS orthography using U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE. This space character is narrower than a regular space, making it clear that this is not a word break, and prevents line-breaking within the word. It also supports double-click selection of a word.
There doesn't appear to be a glyph for NNBSP in the Noto Sans Canadian Aboriginal v2.003.
Here's a word with NNBSP using the Euphemia UCAS font, showing the differences in the gaps for NNBSP (highlighted) and normal space:
Describe the solution you'd like
Please provide a glyph for NNBSP in the UCAS fonts that is noticeably thinner that the regular space.

Version 2.000
The dots in the glyphs for U+18ED, U+18F0, and U+18F2 are spaced much more widely than are the dots in other letters.
