Fwiw, here's a font development group which produces Unicode-based educational fonts in Khmer, but is resorting to remapping the Khmer characters onto the Latin area so that it can colour sub-grapheme level components :( https://github.com/OpenInstituteCambodia/open-khmer-school#highlight-non-unicode > Besides the Normal and Dotted variants, which are in Unicode, Highlight is created in the legacy way using Latin character set. In this project, we need more flexibility for highlighting characters in a syllable, especially in ligature forms. As a ligature usually exists between a consonant and a post-base vowel (U+17B6, U+17C4, or U+17C5), selecting the vowel in any word processing program is very tricky (as the syllable will be selected, not a character). > In order to solve this, we have come to using Latin character set, and writing OpenType features to imitate the Unicode ways (ligature, subconsonant, etc.), except the pref and pres features. I was referred to this by someone else who had also been thinking along these lines.... -- GitHub Notification of comment by r12a Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/699#issuecomment-467867506 using your GitHub account
