Fwiw, Greek also has one letter (sigma) that differs in rendering depending on where in the word it appears. It&#x27;s the same letter, it&#x27;s just that when it appears word-final, it looks different. But Unicode decided to split it into two codepoints, rather than treat it as a rendering issue. Therefore rendering of Greek codepoints never depends on position within the word, even though rendering of Greek <i>letters</i> can. Instead it&#x27;s up to the user to make sure that whenever a lowercase sigma appears word-final, it should be encoded with a different codepoint, GREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL SIGMA (U+03C2), &#x27;ς&#x27;, rather than the usual codepoint, GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA (U+03C3), &#x27;σ&#x27;.
