<U02BB> is considered the appropriate Unicode point for the 'okina (a
letter representing a glottal stop in Polynesian languages). I do
think that several of these new Polynesian locales may require
introducing sorting rules the 'okina and some commonly used digraphs
in this language group (e.g wh, ng, etc.)
