Project mention: Ligatures in programming fonts: hell no | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-13

> The tangent in (1) on how they contradict unicode could have been skipped as well
Not only because confusables already exist, but also (as I already said[1] the previous time this was posted) covering all ligatures used in all typographical styles is very much a non-goal of Unicode. The official position is that the font shaping layer[2] sits atop Unicode’s semantic representation and is free to ligate, spindle, or mutilate it for display however it prefers (at least for Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic it’s a preference; other scripts can’t be rendered at all without doing it, such as Arabic—barring the legacy presentational forms—or Burmese[3]).
The only reason Unicode even has those ligatures is that some IBM encodings (which were more presentational in nature) encoded them, and IBM employees wrote a large part of the early standard (based on the decades of i18n experience they had at that point) and wanted roundtripping.
