Already in IDNA2003, there are some characters that serve as
equivalents to '.'. Additions to this category have been
discussed, but it is unclear how the final solution would look.

Anyway, if the list of '.' equivalents is going to be expanded,
should U+166E be added to that list (e.g. because it's much
easier to type on the relevant keyboard layouts than '.' itself)?
