Yes, zVariant can be considered font variation. HOWEVER, some *are* listed as
separate code point in Unicode, to preserve round-trip. So, the problem isnt
so simple.

Hmm, I guess the problem zVariant is also cross with Y-variant.

For example, U+838A and U+8358. (Okay, this comes from two different languages
so you may considered it as just a Y problem, not a typeface problem).

But how would you classify U+6046 and U+6052.
