Latin GP findings - Cross-script variants with Cyrillic script.
Dear Cyrillic GP, Latin GP has been working on Cross-script variants with Cyrillic script. Latin GP wants to share with you two findings of Latin GP: 1. Latin GP has identified one variant set which would lead to an in-script variant in Cyrillic script LGR. 2. Latin GP has found 6 cross-script variants with Cyrillic script which were not included by Cyrillic GP. Cyrillic in-script variant finding During a thorough investigation of variants with Cyrillic script, Latin GP came to the conclusion that one Latin character, U+0079, should be a variant of two different Cyrillic characters, U+04AF and U+0443. Cyrillic GP has already classified U+0079 and U+0443 as variants. Latin GP considers U+04AF to be sufficiently similar to the other characters. This finding leads towards an in-script variant in Cyrillic script, i.e. between U+04AF and U+0443, due to the requirement of transitivity. Codepoints of this variant include: Source Unicode Name Source Code Point Source Glyph Target Glyph Target Code Point Target Unicode Name Rationale LATIN SMALL LETTER Y 0079 y ү 04AF CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER STRAIGHT U Glyphs identical due to font design LATIN SMALL LETTER Y 0079 y у 0443 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER U Homoglyph The next steps might be the discussion with IP.
