// Quick rundown on Maltese Unicode:  [If you're not sure what 'c.' means, 
// ---------------------------------   look up in the Unicode Book the page
// c. = U+010B   C. = U+010A  'ch'     with the 01xx code points, or www.unicode.org]
// g. = U+0121   G. = U+0120  soft G
// h/ = U+0127   H/ = U+0126  voiced H [or 2nd letter of unvoiced gh/]
// z. = U+017c   Z. = U+017B  'dz'
//
// COMBINING MARKS:
// There is no combining mark for the slash (h/)
//  but, U+0307 is the DOT ABOVE needed for z., c., and g. (in collation rules)
