egg|matrix|egg, do you know why U+2E2F is not in XID_Start? I can't get my head around why that is other than a raw guess that it's because it appears in the Supplemental Punctuation block and typically has semantics more like P, but has category Lm for Reasons™
<SnoopJ>
I stumbled into it being the only member of Lm that is not a valid identifier but *would* be closed under normalization, so I feel like I'm missing some reason it's not in (X)ID_Start
<SnoopJ>
Oh, I just found the bit of UAX#55 that I think answers my question
<SnoopJ>
If I understand that right, the Unicode 3.0 (through 4.0.1) definition of identifiers is unstable in some way, and U+2E2F is a prototype for that incompatibility as something introduced in 5.1. I don't really see the incompatibility problem, but at least I know it's an explicit omission

No, overleaf, I do not want a surprise AI editor. Especially with how many uncommon words a typical STEM paper uses
