[alreq] U+FDF2 'ARABIC LIGATURE ALLAH ISOLATED FORM' not always rendered correctly

Manishearth has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/alreq:

== U+FDF2 'ARABIC LIGATURE ALLAH ISOLATED FORM' not always rendered correctly ==
U+FDF2 'ARABIC LIGATURE ALLAH ISOLATED FORM' (ﷲ) is supposed to render as alef-lam-lam-meem (with diacritics), but in some fonts, [including Courier New](http://myfonts.us/td-AcfSof), the Alef is missing.

http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/fdf2/fontsupport.htm

The code point could conceivably mean "the main l-l-m ligature in 'allah'", however the spec decomposes it as a-l-l-h, so all fonts should render the leading alef.
