212D	[ ℭ]	BLACK-LETTER CAPITAL C
210C	[ ℌ]	BLACK-LETTER CAPITAL H
2111	[ ℑ]	BLACK-LETTER CAPITAL I
211C	[ ℜ]	BLACK-LETTER CAPITAL R
2128	[ ℨ]	BLACK-LETTER CAPITAL Z

the math alphabets have holes only because the relevany characters were
already encoded.  sometimes with a different name.

so the code the minisculize and majusculize the math letters requires a
bit more effort than the ascii subset needs.  but it remains expected &
still should be done.

i'd offer to write a patch but i'm obviously pessimistic.
