Saying something is in the Xxxx script does not mean that it includes only
Unicode characters whose script property is Xxxx.  In particular,
Kurdish in Cyrillic requires the Latin letters Q/q/W/w.  Furthermore,
combining characters aren't in any script and do not affect the
overall script.

The Turkmen orthography uses things that aren't even Unicode letters,
like the cent sign and the (British) pound sign, but that doesn't mean
it isn't basically in Latin script.
