[…] As Asmus has shown, one of the best ways to understand what Unicode does with respect to text variants is that style works on spans of characters (words,...), and is rich text, but thinks that work on single characters are handled in plain text. Upper-case is definitely for most part a single-character phenomenon (the recent Georgian MTAVRULI additions being the exception).
Obviously the single-character rule also applies to superscript when used as ordinal indicator or more generally, as abbreviation indicator. Thanks for the hint, it’s all about interoperability and in this case too the point in using preformatted characters is a good one IIUC. Sorry for getting a little off-topic. There’s also one reply on my to-do list where I’ll do even more so; can’t help given it’s our digital representation that’s at stake, and due to past neglect on either side there’s still a need to painfully lobby for each character while so many other important issues are out there… Best Regards, Marcel
