>From a Unicode perspective anything that is encoded is a "character",
so obviously Nirugu and Sibe syllable boundary marker are by
definition both characters.  I guess what you mean is that they both
act as letters.  However, as both these characters have a Unicode
general property of "Po" (Punctuation, other), there may be a problem
with treating them as letters, with positional forms and FVS variants
-- I don't know if there is a problem, but am just flagging this as a
potential issue to be taken into consideration.
