Cyrillic Small Letter Monograph Uk (U+A64B) gylph shape #155

As per https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/issues/1517#issuecomment-1379422104.

A more thorough explanation can be seen here: image

By this comment, the original lowercase Uk should be blended, as opposed to the unblended (U+1C88). These two forms coexisted in some writings, so the encoding of these two forms separately probably means that they are intended to be distinct.

(Not that I think they will ever be used in a way that the identification causes a problem but still)

For the current lowercase Uk, I'm not sure if they can be used directly for U+1C88 either. The sources and all fonts I found renders it as a ѵ over о, without the tail. If that glyph is to be supported along with this fix, it probably has to be remade.

Thanks! I'm grateful for all the documentation you've supplied, but I confess I'm also quite confused as to what to actually do...

Let me ask two questions:

1 Which existing glyphs do you me to change?

2 Which new glyphs do you want me to add?

I've been using the Unicode code charts as my main reference:

Are these suitable for adaptation?

Logo121 commented 1 year ago

Only U+A64B needs to be changed.

I've mentioned U+1C88 (unblended uk) just in case you want to move the existing glyph for U+A64B to that codepoint.
I'm not an expert at this either (I'm just referring to Unicode documents as well), so it's probably safe enough to just follow the Unicode-provided glyphs.
That's what most fonts I found (and showed in that issue) do anyway.
