Variant sets
English (language) — Second-Level Reference Label Generation Rules, 25 October 2024
Code points grouped into sets of mutual variants. Every member of a set produces
the same set of variant labels, so a registration of one has implications for
all the others. Sets of a single member are omitted, as are the identity
mappings RFC 7940 requires each member to declare.
5 variant sets,
containing 10 variants.
