Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-pseudo] Consider using Unicode ZWJ and ZWNJ to control :first-letter inclusion (#6242)

Thank you, I wasn't aware of the use in Bengali. I think that effectively prevents the idea of using of ZWNJ to force the end of the first-letter segment. I'm not sure it rules out using ZWJ to add extra letters, which does 

Re your other points, I agree with your first certainly. For the second we still have no control over what's included and what isn't - it's determined by the pattern defined in https://w3c.github.io/csswg-drafts/css-pseudo-4/#first-letter-pattern. 

However now we have ::prefix and ::postfix to style the punctuation, this is issue much less important - the only case this would fix is the one from #3208 - two initial "V" letters forming an archaic "W" - but that's very obscure.

So given your objections and the existance of ::prefix/::postfix, I don't think this issue is going to solve much - so I'll close.
