Re: [charmod-norm] Coneng Homonyms are Recent

The wording implies that that the appearances are always at least similar.  The old form of <COENG, DA> was very distinct, even more so than the optional differences between U+0061 LATIN SMALL LETTER A and U+0251 LATIN SMALL LETTER ALPHA and between U+0067 LATIN SMALL LETTER G and U+0261 LATIN SMALL LETTER SCRIPT G.

The issue is that the degree of difference may differ wildly between *good* fonts, varying from deliberate identity of form to deliberate clear differences.

As to what you saw, you're probably using a font attuned to early 21st century Khmer.  The Arabic examples were clearly distinguishable on my machine, but it's just possible that that's due to different but genetically related fonts.
