UAX 11 and new Unicode 16 variation sequences

[Jules Bertholet]

Unicode 16 will add 8 new standardized variation sequences: 
https://unicode.org/alloc/Pipeline.html#variation_sequences,
https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2023/23212r-quotes-svs-proposal.pdf

These new sequences have the peculiarity that they affect the width of 
the character they modify. In previous versions of Unicode, this was 
only true of emoji variation sequences. However, UAX 11 "East Asian 
Width" (https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/) currently does not 
account for the possibility of a non-emoji variation sequence affecting 
character width, and no update to UAX 11 has yet been proposed for 
Unicode 16. Is there a plan to address this gap?
