In addition to the language-related issues noted, some other interesting examples have shown up in the context of various proposals to allow emoji in IDNs and elsewhere. The Unicode emojii description, at least as I read it, restricts the use of ZWJ with emoji. However it seems likely, given the very nature of emoji, that creativity will prevail over those restrictions (illustrated by a recent XKCD piece). Since there are no applicable normalization rules, even for ordering within a combining sequence, and that it is unclear whether, for a given emoji code point E, E ZWJ E is equivalent to E, adds emphasis, or describes/ illustrates something else entirely (lurid examples on request), the area is fraught with "opportunities" for confusion and positive and negative mismatches. -- GitHub Notification of comment by klensin Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/charmod-norm/issues/44#issuecomment-299169377 using your GitHub account
