<p>Because exact glyph details are not normative. Especially for
compatibility characters. Here, the intent is usually to
facilitate a unique and unambiguous mapping between some kind of
legacy character and a Unicode character.</p>
<p>I think that the analysis for the curved connectors that unified
two distinct elements because their rendering was close was a
mistake, because the distinction occurred in the same set and
unifying the characters killed fidelity in round trip conversion
for many members of the "large set" while "saving" only one
character code. In my personal view, that's precisely the wrong
way to do unification.</p>

<div>When a legacy computing platform
defines blocks in terms of fractions,
it does so to ensure specific
alignment with those fractions, making
it part of the fundamental character
identity. On the other hand, when a
legacy computing platform defines
strokes in terms of stem weight and
there is known variation across
platforms, it is inappropriate to
define those characters using exact
fractions when those fractions
mismatch some of the platforms.<br>

<p>So far, you have only argued that a font (or bitmap) used to
emulate a specific legacy platform should faithfully adhere to any
specifications that apply to that platform.</p>
<p>There is nothing wrong with the same *Unicode* character being
rendered slightly differently when used to emulate *different*
platforms. Unless it is the very same platform that exhibits
different shapes (and in the same display "mode" or "shift"). In
that case, the principle of source set separation becomes
applicable (which is the principle that should have been applied
to the curved connector case. If it makes you happy, you can cite
my opinion on that).</p>
<p>However, I didn't spot where that would have been the case for
the line segments. From my quick perusal of the proposals and the
critique here it seems that this is a matter of the different
displays having different weights and therefore, the preferred
font / bitmap cannot be the same in each context. However, there's
not implied need to be able to emulate a screen where different
parts of the emulator have support a different legacy system.
Usually, a single window (or nested window) would display a single
emulator.</p>
<p>Again, the identity of the Unicode character is giving by
encoding the intended mappings. If Unicode decides to map the same
character to similar characters on different platforms, that is
not a problem, as long as implementers know that the intent is to
use a platform-specific rendering (and not assume that there is
only one possible rendering per character).</p>
<p>If you feel that the guidance available to implementers in the
text of the standard or in an annotation of the nameslist is not
sufficent, then the remedy would be to ask for the explanation to
be updated. We are unfortunately locked in as far as character
names are concerned, but we can add a note (best in the text of
the standard) that explains that emulators for some systems will
need an adjusted design so a sequence or other arrangement of
these characters looks correct.</p>
<p>A./</p>
<p>PS: I see that you confirm below that the two cases are of a
different nature.</p>
