Hi,
I am excited to see the half-bracket symbols (U+2E22 -> U+2E25) in
Unicode. I've been waiting for them. I assume that they're meant for use
cases such as:
* in certain Japanese dictionaries to indicate pitch accent (U+2E22
and U+2E23 would surround the high-register "mora")
* for alternate quoting, such as Jeffrey Friedl's usage in his
"Mastering Regular Expressions" book to denote the beginning
(U+2E22) and end (U+2E25) of regexes
In both these two use cases that I'm aware of, the symbols are
zero-width, or casually indistinguishable from zero-width. Is there a
place in the standard to indicate that this is the recommended way for
fonts to implement these symbols?
