It is not different. It boils down to the same thing: you must use
fonts that do the job.
Yes, it is different.
A font based solution cannot handle both Sinhala and English without
marking up the text somehow.
A Unicode-based solution does not need this.
There are plenty of instances where multiple languages occur in a single
span or single HTML element without any markup delimiting their
boundaries. Unicode handles these cases quite fine, in fact, it's one
the design points.
