My curated issues on Source Han Serif v2.000

Hi,

This is my curated list of issues found in Source Han Serif v2.000. They are mostly related to the newly added HK variant. Issues thought to be related to the build process migration as mentioned by the devs are skipped. Thank you!

💡: New glyph needed.
❶: Fixed in v2.001.

## A. Issue with the masters

| # | Region | Codepoint | Current glyph name | Remarks |
| --| ------ | --------- | ---------- | ------- |
| ❶ A1 | HK | U+270AE 𧂮 | u270AE-HK | Contour mismatch:
 |

## B. Glyph issues

| # | Region(s) | Codepoint | Current glyph name | Remarks |
| --- | ------ | --------- | ---------- | ------- |
| ❶ B1 | HK | U+3FFA 㿺 | uni3FFA-HK | 共's last stroke incorrect. Actually the CN glyph could be used, no need for a new glyph.
| B2 | TW,HK | U+4E31 丱 | uni4E31-TW | This is just the bottom of 𢇇. Currently the design is a replication of the reference glyph, thus its two connecting strokes do not conform to Source Han Serif's chosen stroke type. Suggest to use characters like 關, 聯 as references.
| ❶ B3💡 | CN,TW,HK | U+51F8 凸 | uni51F8-JP | Due to the following stroke form difference the JP glyph can't be shared with CN/TW/HK.
| ❶ B4💡 | CN,TW,HK | U+51F9 凹 | uni51F9-JP | Ditto.
| ❶ B5💡 | CN,TW,HK | U+534D 卍 | uni534D-JP | Ditto.
| B6💡 | HK | U+63B0 掰 | uni63B0-CN | The 手 component on the left is different.
| ❶ B7 | HK | U+74CA 瓊 | uni74CA-JP | The 攵 component isn't the same. Should either remap to `uni74CAuE0101-JP` or `uni74CA-TW`. Not sure if this is an isolated issue, still explicitly mention it here since it can be easily overlooked.
| ❶ B8 | HK | U+7631 瘱 | uni7631-TW | The last stroke of 大 is different. Suggest to remap to uni7631-CN.
| B9💡 | TW,HK | U+7661 癡 | uni7661-CN | The 匕 component is different, can't use CN form.
| ❶ B10💡 | CN,TW,HK | U+774F 睏 | uni774F-JP | The last stroke of 木 in 困 is different, can't use JP form.
| B11💡 | HK | U+79B8 禸 | uni79B8-TW | This component is actually the bottom part of 禺/禽, the middle stroke could be vertical of slanted. The HK version adopts the slanted stroke. Do note that this 厶-like form is still three strokes, not two, thus the JP (not CN) form should be followed. A new glyph would be needed. While at it, I want to add that this 冂-like form in TC actually looks like the design in `uni5D4EuE0101-JP` or `uni6A8EuE0101-JP`. I am not asking to change all of the related glyphs here (we can say the triangle-like decoration of the vertical line for this serif form is kind of buried into the horizontal line due to the limit amount of space), but for this particular codepoint, which shows the 禸 component alone, you may consider preserving this detail. (Edit 2021/11/2: U+2F71 should also remap to this new glyph.)
| ~~B12~~ (see L8 below) | ~~TW,HK~~ | ~~U+8985 覅~~ | ~~uni8985-TW~~ | ~~The first stroke of 女 is different.
~~
| ❶ B13💡 | HK | U+8D81 趁 | uni8D81-CN | The stroke form of 人 is diffrent, can't use CN form.
| ❶ B14 | TW,HK | U+9156 酖 | uni9156-CN | Design different for 酉. Can remap to `uni9156uE0101-JP`. BTW, `uni9156-JP` and `uni9156-CN` look the same to me.
| ❶ B15 | TW,HK | U+9165 酥 | uni9165-JP | Ditto. Can remap to `uni9165uE0101-JP`.
| ❶ B16💡 | HK | U+9D0C 鴌 | uni9D0C-JP | The topmost component (天) is different from JP (夭).
| ❶ B17💡 | CN,TW,HK | U+9F0F 鼏 | uni9F0F-JP | The component 鼎 can't be shared with JP.
| ❶ B18 | TW,HK | U+9F71 齱 | uni9F71-TW | The Heavy master of 耳 is isn't correct. The last stroke shouldn't protrude.
| B19 | HK | U+200EE 𠃮 | u200EE-HK | Check the last stroke of the 水 component.
| B20 | HK | U+20E78 𠹸 | u20E78-HK | Check the last stroke of the 衣 component.
| B21 | HK | U+2A1DF 𪇟 | u2A1DF-HK | Check the last stroke of the second 人 component in 谷.

*Note: For U+51F8 凸, U+51F9 凹, U+534D 卍 and U+9F0F 鼏, a correct version is found in the v1.x version of the font. Still, I strongly suggest to start over from the JP version for the first 3 glyphs because of the better design. *

## C. Stroke form issues with the component 聽

| # | Region(s) | Codepoint | Current glyph name | Remarks |
| --- | ------ | --------- | ---------- | ------- |
| ❶ C1💡 | HK | U+5EF3 廳 | uni5EF3-TW | The component 耳 is the same as JP but different from TW, while the component 𡈼 is the same as TW but different from JP. Both are different from CN.
| ❶ C2💡 | HK | U+807D 聽 | uni807D-JP | Ditto.

## D. Stroke form issues with the component 貫

| # | Region(s) | Codepoint | Current glyph name | Remarks |
| --- | ------ | --------- | ---------- | ------- |
| ❶ D1💡 | CN,TW,HK | U+645C 摜 | uni645C-JP | Glyph can't be shared due to stroke form difference.
| ❶ D2💡 | CN,TW,HK | U+8CAB 貫 | uni8CAB-JP | Ditto.
| ❶ D3 | HK | U+2037F 𠍿 | u2037F-HK | Check the 毌 component.

- For U+645C 摜, the correct form could be found in v1, but the mapping for TW was wrong.
- For U+8CAB 貫, the correct form could be found in v1.

## E. Stroke form issues with the component 臣


- The stroke form of 臣 is different for JP/KR and CN/TW/HK. Any TW/HK glyph that shares the glyph with JP/KR can be considered a bug.
- And, I consider this an isolated bug, because for many cases a new glyph would be needed.
- On the other hand, there are glyphs that are mapped to CN, which are intrinsically incorrect because the TW/HK standard form use "⿱𠂉一" while the CN form uses "⿱𠂉丶". I am also reporting them here because they can't be fixed by simply changing the mapping to JP.

| ❶ E16💡 | TW,HK | U+8F5E 轞 | uni8F5E-JP

## F. Stroke form issues with the component 㡀

This can be easily overlooked, so here they are:


| # | Region(s) | Codepoint | Current glyph name | Remarks |
| --- | ------ | --------- | ---------- | ------- |
| ❶ F1💡 | TW,HK | U+5F46 彆 | uni5F46-CN
| ❶ F2💡 | TW,HK | U+87DE 蟞 | uni87DE-CN
| ❶ F3💡 | HK | U+8E69 蹩 | uni8E69-CN
| ❶ F4💡 | TW,HK | U+9128 鄨 | uni9128-CN
| ❶ F5💡 | TW,HK | U+9C49 鱉 | uni9C49-CN
| ❶ F6💡 | TW,HK | U+9DE9 鷩 | uni9DE9-CN
| ❶ F7 | HK | U+9F08 鼈 | uni9F08-HK | Can also map TW glyph to HK

## G. Stroke form issues with the component 今


The form of 今 adapted by HK/TW is different from JP/KR/CN. This is unfortunate, I like the JP/KR form more, which should also be fine at least for HK (the HKSCS document is sometimes inconsistent). But anyway.


| # | Region(s) | Codepoint | Current glyph name | Remarks |
| --- | ------ | --------- | ---------- | ------- |
| G1 | HK | U+3597 㖗 | uni3597-HK |
 |
| G2 | HK | U+6407 搇 | uni6407-HK | Ditto.
| G3 | HK | U+6657 晗 | uni6657-JP |
| G4 | HK | U+6C75 汵 | uni6C75-HK |
| G5 | HK | U+6D5B 浛 | uni6D5B-HK | If unmodified, the form is essentially the same as uni6D5B-JP. |

## H. Stroke form issues with the component ⺮


Similarly, Source Han Serif adopts different design of the ⺮ component for TW/HK. Not a big deal, just for better consistency.


| # | Region(s) | Codepoint | Current glyph name | Remarks |
| --- | ------ | --------- | ---------- | ------- |
| ❶ H1 💡 | HK | U+7BB8 箸 | uni7BB8-JP90-JP |
| H2 | HK | U+21828 𡠨 | u21828-HK |
| H3 | HK | U+25D20 𥴠 | u25D20-HK |

*(No section I in this post)*

## J. Glyph position issues

This is related to the glyph positioning discrepancy between HKSCS and the current form. HKSCS mostly prefers centering the glyph to the em box. Depending on whether the current glyph position is insisted by the mapped region, new glyphs might be necessary.


| # | Region(s) | Codepoint | Current glyph name | Remarks |
| --- | ------ | --------- | ---------- | ------- |
| J1 | HK | U+4EBB 亻 | uni4EBB-CN |
| J2 | HK | U+5202 刂 | uni5202-CN |
| J3 | HK | U+5FC4 忄 | uni5FC4-JP |
| J4 | HK | U+624C 扌 | uni624C-CN |
| J5 | HK | U+6C35 氵 | uni6C35-JP |
| J6 | HK | U+72AD 犭 | uni72AD-CN |
| J7 | HK | U+793B 礻 | uni793B-CN |
| J8 | HK | U+7E9F 纟 | uni7E9F-CN |
| J9 | HK | U+7F52 罒 | uni7F52-CN
| J10 | HK | U+8BA0 讠 | uni8BA0-CN |
| J11 | HK | U+961D 阝 | uni961D-CN |
| J12 | HK | U+248E9 𤣩 | uni2EA9-JP |
| J13 | HK | U+2626A 𦉪 | u2626A-HK |

## K. Others

| # | Region(s) | Codepoint | Current glyph name | Remarks |
| --- | ------ | --------- | ---------- | ------- |
| ❶ K1 | HK | uni819A-HK | The contour of 月 is too wide.
