Those are interesting variations, but do they really have separate 
codepoints in some encodings? Differences like these should, for most 
purposes, be handled by fonts, since it would be impossible to search a 
text that had one codepoint for each variation of a kanji. It would be 
like the absolute opposite of Unihan, for better and for worse.
