the fact that there is seemingly no interest in fixing this, and if you want chinese and japanese in the same document, you're just fucked, forever, is crazy to me.
They should add separate code points for each variant and at least make it possible to avoid the problem in new documents. I've heard the arguments against this before, but the longer you wait, the worse the problem gets.
What happens if you want both single-storey "a" and double-storey "a" in the same document? You use a different font.
Some fonts allow for both alternatives in them
Why is the language tag not used to signal a variant?
Afaik theres some language hints nowadays but its kinda hack
