Minor footnote clarifying an issue that comes up often in understanding
Unicode font implementations.
There is masses to understand about Unicode!
My post mentioned that ...

Why?
Because Asian languages use the same style of brackets NOT for Maths in
normal writing. SO the WELL DESIGNED MATHS FONT includes, helpfully,
duplicate signs that are for direct *non-math use* by Asian writers.
