Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] Font fallback for (Unicode) decomposable characters is browser-dependent (#10565)

We discussed this at the JLReq TF meeting on 2024-9-25.

Ideographic characters in the compatibility area are typically used to precisely spell proper nouns, such as 高田 vs. 髙田. This is similar to the spelling variation between ‘Smith’ and ‘Smithe’ in English family names. We now have IVS, a better mechanism to express such variations. However, not only do we need to continue supporting existing data, but it is also likely that compatibility ideographs will continue to be used.

For this reason, the JLReq TF believes that compatibility ideographs should be treated similarly to variation sequences in order to preserve the intended variations.
