--- Comment #2 from Jonathan Clark <[email protected]> ---
Using the CTL font for Nüshu was not a deliberate choice. This is the
default/fallback for scripts that aren't explicitly mapped (the rationale
provided by the code is "anything new is going to be pretty wild"). Once we
reach a consensus, we should update the code to make it clear the decision is
intentional, even if we decide to keep it the same.

The mapping between Unicode code point ranges and script types is defined by
the ODF standard (ODF 1.3 Table 22). The standard doesn't specify any mapping
for Nüshu, so according to the standard, implementations are free to do as they
wish. This may not be ideal, so I'm making this bug block the ODF-spec metabug.

The OOXML standard also defines a mapping (ECMA-376-1:2016 17.3.2.26). This
mapping implies any code point outside the basic multilingual plane should be
treated as East Asian. Searching online, I found some complaints that Nüshu is
hard to use in Microsoft Word because it treats Nüshu as East Asian, but
doesn't consider Nüshu fonts East Asian.
