[Latingp] Homoglyphs within Latin script

[Tan Tanaka, Dennis]

Hi Michael,

They are not the same character. They look alike in lower case, but are different in upper case (i.e. disunification by case property). The IP briefly discussed this case of 01DD and 0259 in their feedback to our Principles document and suggested that these two should not be variants. Hence my question about more evidence.

    I'm not sure we need additional evidence, because in this case it's not
    mere "visual similarity" but those two are actually the same. And I
    don't think we have another choice in the case of homoglyphs, but to
    make them variants. On the contrary, I think we had to argue if we
    wanted to not make them variants.
