This adds a new category to the exemplar characters called
removable
. A removable character is a character withinbase
which should be skipped when testing for language support. For example, although fonts should contain a ẞ character to correctly support German, the lack of a ẞ character in a font should not preclude the font from being reported as supporting German.When choosing whether or not to display a font for a particular language to the end user, the characters in
removable
should be removed from thebase
set. When reporting language support to the designer, the characters inbase
should be used as-is.
