Map 佢 (U+4F62) to HK/TW form for JP/KR version, and other issues with 巨
The v1.001 JP version once had the shinjitai 巨 radical in 佢, which was removed in v2. It is currently mapped to the CN form.
However, the Kyujitai versions (and hyogaiji, e.g. 詎, and subsequently the KR versions) of other characters that have the 巨 component within the AJ1-6 character set have the top and bottom strokes sticking out. I suggest mapping the HK/TW version to the JP and KR versions to be more consistent.
UPDATE: Here are the affected glyphs to remap the HK/TW forms to the JP/KR versions (Source Han Sans also has this issue): 佢駏螶
姖 has the TW component for 女 so I do not know if this can be done as I do not feel the TW radical suits the traditional printing style of JP/KR.
KR only: 炬 has the TW component for 火, same reason as 姖.
姖 originally had a JP glyph in v1.001 (which had a shinjitai 巨 radical) which was removed in v2. I think best leave these two, 姖炬, alone.
And now the other way around, take the JP/KR forms and remap it to the HK/TW versions (they're currently mapped to the CN form): 巨弡怇柜歫秬耟蚷鉅奆. This only applies to Source Han Serif.
Once again I apologise for being a bit haphazard.
EDIT: It appears I did not notice the 弓 in 弡 has the JP traditional printing form that might render it unsuitable for TW/HK mapping, but since this character is technically outside the TW/HK coverage and Source Han Sans already have the JP form mapped to TW/HK versions, please remap it anyway. The 巨 is more obvious than the 弓.
And I almost forgot: Also map the KR (JP Kyujitai) version of 巨 itself to the TW/HK versions. That I missed out on the mapping bug occurring to the character itself.
Here's some more glyphs to remap (Source Han Sans also affected):
Map KR to HK glyph: 渠
Map TW to HK glyph: 榘
Not sure if can map HK glyph to JP/KR because of the split 艹: 菃
This is on v2.001.
For JP/KR Fixed: 佢 Still not fixed: 駏螶, 渠 (KR only)
For TW/HK Fixed: 巨弡怇柜歫秬耟蚷鉅奆, 榘 (TW only) Still not fixed: None :)
Here is another minor issue regarding 昛 (U+661B, a KS X 1002 hanja) for KR. It should be redesigned to follow the TW form of 巨 for consistency sake. Then you can map that redesigned glyph to JP, TW and HK as well.
This issue is still not fully resolved in v2.002, because it's not even touched upon. Please fix those JP/KR mappings in the next development cycle, even if they are off-scope. And redesign 昛 (U+661B) too as mentioned before.
