So, in a pure Unicode environment, for example, an app wouldn't use
different Unicode character values depending on context? They would
use a single, consistent Unicode character value, and then the
rendering engine would select (based on context) which of several
possible Unicode glyphs to display?
In other words, these rendering differences being discussed are
treated in a fundamentally different way from, say, case shifts?
