[csswg-drafts] [css-text-3] Should enclosed counting rods / tai xuan jing / yi jing hexagrams be space-discarding? (#4993)

fantasai has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-text-3] Should enclosed counting rods / tai xuan jing / yi jing hexagrams be space-discarding?  ==
In #337 we decided to key line-break transformation behavior by Unicode Block. Most of the blocks are pretty straightforward: Han, Kana, Yi, and CJK punctuation blokcs discard, and everything else converts to a space. But there are a few interesting cases...

One interesting case are some symbols that seem to originate primarily in CJK usage:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yijing_Hexagram_Symbols_(Unicode_block)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taixuanjing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_Rod_Numerals_(Unicode_block)

Our intent is to discard if it's safe to do so (Chinese / Japanese context) but not otherwise (Korean, English, etc.). Note that we only discard if both sides (before and after) the line break are part of the space-discarding character set.

What should we do with these blocks?
