Description
I'm not sure this should be treated as a bug or not.
But I thought Chinese punctuation marks (such as ，。？（）【】) should not be rendered as Italic by default, even they are in $$ or $$$$ block. Even in China, we usually use English but not Chinese punctuation marks in mathematic context.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. First reproduce the rendering of Chinese punctuation inside $$ and $$$$ blocks, then trace the MathJax rendering path that assigns italic styling. The issue is done when the listed punctuation marks render upright by default in both block forms, with tests covering the behavior.
