Fwiw, Greek also has one letter (sigma) that differs in rendering depending on where in the word it appears. It's the same letter, it's just that when it appears word-final, it looks different. But Unicode decided to split it into two codepoints, rather than treat it as a rendering issue. Therefore rendering of Greek codepoints never depends on position within the word, even though rendering of Greek letters can. Instead it's up to the user to make sure that whenever a lowercase sigma appears word-final, it should be encoded with a different codepoint, GREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL SIGMA (U+03C2), 'ς', rather than the usual codepoint, GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA (U+03C3), 'σ'. |
