⛩ CJK
Now I review all changes to BS Han, 3 ideographs fell back to SimSunB
Removed >10 special rules that either no longer work now, or really minor difference (e.g. roof stroke)
(UnicodiaHan unchanged)
Old OS with incomplete SimSun now use BabelStone more aggressively
Arguable ideographs:
• 40E3 (has Chinese): both West and SimSun stuck to standard Chinese rules
• 21CBD (Chinese only): after a small research, I admitted that BabelStone’s version is at least legit (such ideographs are often old)
• 256A1 (has Chinese): finally took BabelStone, West drew a better version
• 2ECEA (from Chinese names): let it be, such rules of Fire component
• 3068C (has Chinese): after a talk to West, reverted to BabelStone: they’ll probably change the glyph

Carian is now “mostly left-to-right”. Not a lie, as this value is relatively new

🌐 INTERNATIONALIZATION
Info in Plane article is computed. Only the article’s basic structure is written by hand.
#506 “Four coloured emoji” are also computed though did nothing in text structure.
Made templates from three years and three versions when some fact is confirmed (but may become false someday), mainly for languages I cannot update because I don’t know them
#504 Moved info on Naxi (Lisu ex) to central language storage
The fourth standard snippet of text, about multiple old Albanian scripts.
