When source text contains Unicode Variation Selector[1][2][3], how does that affect font choice for the code point? Here's an example. With the following style: font-family: A B; and let's say both fonts contains the glyph for U+8FBA, but only font B contains VS1 of U+8FBA. For the source text of U+8FBA VS1, should font A be used to render it, or B? I assume font B, as font A does not contain the glyph the author specified and ignores VS1, but I'd appreciate clarification since Variation Selector can behave differently from the regular code point for font fallback.
