Every time I see folks say "screen readers should just handle them as letters" it dismisses the fact they all are useful characters that mean things in other contexts, but the idea of "in certain circumstances" is the first time I've read a related take that feels vaguely viable.
I could see some folks going "aha! A use for LLMs!" but someone on fedi wrote a handcrafted "micro language model" -- his words analogizing it -- so my stream bot could detect when someone key smashes and automatically play the "password generated" event I've got set up for it. Extremely low CPU, could detect quickly in this case.
But that all still requires developers of these readers to implement functionality based on this misusage. Where do you draw the line? What about the folks who use those characters from non-Roman written languages that look like Roman characrers, like the racist "Asian font" generators?
