Problem with Coptic Unicode characters in Yahoo Search Engine?

Coptic is an "almost" extinct Egyptian language

recently the Unicode organization added support for the Coptic Language

http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2C80.pdf

But yahoo search engine (and google by the way)

does NOT return correct result when searching using Coptic letters

for example search for the word ϯⲁⲥⲡⲓ return result for the first letter only "ϯ"

Note:

If you can't see the text above thats because you need font that supports Coptic

you can download it from here http://kame.danacbe.com/Fonts/ArialCoptic.ttf

can any one of the Yahoo stuff help us to fix this problem?

    The Yahoo! Search Blog (http://www.ysearchblog.com/) has an email address for suggestions and feedback. You might want to try that:

    Yahoo is very good for other stuff like News,Weather, OMG,Y/A, Sports, Games, Messenger and a variety of features, but its "search engine" is Yuk. I tried it once or twice, but it does no justice to itself.
