So what's your solution?

With the only difference between the [Lomtatidze] and [Chirikba] styles 
being that pe and ghe have middle hooks vs. descenders, and with no 
known case of contrast between the two, it seems to me that, in the 
context of Abkhaz, we are better saying this is a glyph difference, and 
we can avoid fragmenting the representation of text for a relatively 
small community. [Linguarium] has settled on U+04A7 and U+0495, and I 
followed that for the UDHR.

I have obtained a scan of Bgazhba, by the way (thanks to Debbie Anderson).
