<p>So maybe learn more about it before suggesting things to be added
to the OTL feature set or other aspects of the format?</p>
<p>Sorry if that sounds harsh, but you say elsewhere that you
‘appreciate the difference of a character from a glyph’ and then
proceed to suggest glyph-level substitutions to affect
character-level text operations such as string translation. There
is a whole field of text localisation in software that has solved
this for various scenarios a long time ago. You are trying to
reinvent a well-worn wheel using an inappropriate technology about
which, by your own admission, you only know a little.<br>
</p>
<p>Again, sorry if that sounds harsh, but you seem to have habit of
picking up on bits of technology, not taking time to understand
them, and then proposing things to do with them. A few months ago
it was Unicode variation selectors, a couple of years ago it was
using glyph-substitution to describe emoji as input for
text-to-speech: further evidence that while you claim to
appreciate the difference between characters and glyphs, you don’t
actually <i>understand</i> the difference.<br>
