But these characters only look identical in some fonts. Are you saying that if you change font, some characters in a string should change appearance and others should not? And what about the round-trip rule? And ligatures? Aren't those a semantic distinction? |

Print Unicode on paper, then ocr it, and you'll get different Unicode. Oh, and normalization.

Generally an issue with rendering.

Unicode isn't about semantics (or shouldn't be). Consider 'a'. It's used for all kinds of meanings.
