Description

Japanese kana are treated as a separate script in Parley and Fontique, and on Android these do not have any fallback selected for `sans` or `system-ui`.

Research direction

Start by tracing how Parley and Fontique select fallback fonts for `sans` and `system-ui` on Android, with Japanese kana as the reproduction case. Done means Japanese kana receive an appropriate fallback font on Android instead of having no font selected.
