--- Comment #1 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> ---
I'd say the mapping by the standard is just plain wrong for many of those
characters. Since when are numerals and punctuation marks "western"?

I would suggest we have a list of choices regarding the Unicode character
mapping scheme, in Tools > Options > Languages and Locales : It could have 3
items:

* LibreOffice heuristic
* ODF 1.4 ยง20.358 Table 23 mapping
* ECMA-376-1:2016 OOXML 17.3.2.26 mapping (or whatever MSO is using)

The LO heuristic would be whatever modifications we decide we want to make on
the ODF table.

If the Unicode consortium defines which characters are strongly associated with
one or a set of languagues, we could compose that mapping with our
language-to-language-group mapping (which we have, right?), - so that if the
languages aren't fully within a single language group, we try to apply the hint
to choose between the groups. That could be a fourth  and call that a fourth
option, "Unicode-consortium-based". Or just use that ourselves and drop the "LO
Heuristic" option.
