What do you mean with "the current glottal stop character,
which looks capital".  Should the lowercase then be x-height,
or descending?  I have drawn my idea of an uppercase GS to
<http://www.melroch.se/conlang/misc/glottalstop.gif>

The glyph to the right is an ascending lowercase GS.
The other two are my alternative upper-case GSs.
Actually I prefer the mirror-image Greek Gamma one.
No conflict would occur with a Greek Gamma shape for
uppercase pharyngeal voiced fricative, since 'Latin'
uppercase Gamma looks like a V with a loop at the bottom.

But then I'm the guy who thinks the Euro symbol should
have been an uppercase E with a vertical stroke in the
middle.  Or even rather call the thing 'sesterce' (with
variants as per language) and symbol HS.
