      You know the problem but not the set of reasonable or practical solutions.

      Anyways I and l look identical too in many fonts. Should we make them the same letter?

        No, but that’s what Unicode does.

        The solution is to force font creators to be fucking reasonable, just like how the Cyrillic A looks exactly like the Latin A. They are the same letter. The letters L and I are totally different (in handwriting at least)

        They already did that for CJK. Make characters that look the same in handwriting b have be same codepointer.
