*** Consider changing the default display of Variation Selectors
Attached a patch to use 'zero-width for them by default (since theyʼre
frigging annoying). We could use 'thin-space by default I suppose. Do
we need to support VS-16 through VS-32 as well?

I think thin-space is better. Emacs doesn't normally hide any
characters entirely from display, so zero-width sounds too radical to
me.

You mean through VS-256, right? No, I don't think we should, not
unless we support the sequences with these selectors.
Thanks.

OK

Hmm, thatʼs a good question. I donʼt know. I mean, we set up
composition rules for them, presumably to cater for IVD, but I have no
idea if those work.
