Aha! My first time to hear of .dfu files. And yes, you are absolutely correct as far as those 6 characters having definitions in the utf8enc.dfu file, while the two lenticular brackets are not in that file. So perhaps the question becomes: for unicode characters that have existing definitions in the .dfu file, how would one adapt vertical typesetting? I am supposing that removing the definition from the utf8enc.dfu file is not an acceptable solution. Is it possible to force latex to read the definition in the fdx file and overwrite whatever it had previously read from a .dfu file? I'm afraid I still know far too little about latex and tex programming to see exactly what issues are at stake here. Is the setting or "fetching" of the glyph for horizontal CK is also not under control of the CJK package but rather done by normal latex in this case?
