Please be VERY careful here!

The collections you define are collections of characters.
Characters and glyphs are not the same. Not much of a difference
for Latin, but a huge difference for Arabic and for Indic scripts.

I suggest you have a look at the CSS2 spec, at the description
of the unicode-range property, and copy the language that deals
with this problem from there.
