Suggested solution:
Correct the typefaces Comic Sans MS, Tahoma, Verdana
in the same way as the typeface Trebuchet MS has been corrected:
Make U+2018 a rotational image of U+2019.
Make U+201B a mirrored image of U+2019.
Make a clear statement in the Unicode standard:
U+2019 rotated by 180 degrees results in U+2018.
U+2019 mirrored results in U+201B.
These suggestions are constructive and practical, and make a lot more
sense than trying to get a new character encoded, or telling people to
use the wrong character, to work around a glyph problem in a select few
fonts.
The editorial additions seem sensible, although words like TURNED and
REVERSED in character names have a specific, well-defined meaning and
there should be no need to explain them or talk around them, beyond what
the Standard and these additions provide.
