Hi! I just noticed, to my pleasant surprise, that my Emacs renders VS1 with the glyph used in the standard; the glyph is taken from Noto Sans Manichaean Regular (no idea why Emacs selected just this very font).
Actually I was looking for a font which contains glyphs for variation selectors, so I tried to print it. As this did not work, I tried check whether the VS1 works in the intended context, i.e. with e.g. MANICHAEAN LETTER DALETH, and I am quite confused --- sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Please have a look at the enclosed examples. I will appreciate very much your comments.
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Noto Sans Manichaean}
