What you have discovered is that under certain circumstances, with
certain fonts, you can get the visual results you want by using
characters other than those recommended in the Standard -- by using
characters simply because they "look right."

This is not plain text encoding, and it is not a matter of Unicode
failing to consider a particular usage scenario or failing to "complete"
some part of the Standard. It is about having an incomplete
understanding of the Unicode Standard.

Read, listen, learn.
