Consider restoring v1 JP glyphs that are part of Adobe-Japan1

[Marcus98T]

I checked through the removed JP glyphs and a good amount of them are part of Adobe-Japan1-6. There were some issues reported before, and I’ve reported some of them as well, but I realized this is much worse than I thought. So I made a table below for Adobe to consider restoring the v1 JP glyphs, and a comparison gif file of the affected glyphs.

I will not be asking to restore all of them. There are a few of those in the table that might actually be renamed glyphs so they may look almost identical.

I understand some of them are removed either because the CN glyph is better designed or that it’s for balancing and consistency, but unfortunately, a good amount of glyphs now look a bit worse because they use CN by default, especially those with the 心 component.

Unicode	Character	Restore JP glyph?	Replace CN Glyph?	Notes
U+47E6	䟦	No	-	The JP glyph that is closest to Kozuka Mincho was somehow renamed to uni47E6-CN, whereas a separate CN glyph in v1 was removed. Suggest to rename it back to uni47E6-JP
