So like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideographic_Description_Characters_(Unicode_block) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideographic_Description_Charac... , but instead of describing the compositions, they actually perform them?

Oh wow that’s interesting. Would be interesting if it actually performed the change, and on any character. Pointing emojis in the right direction with the Horizontal Reflection modifier would probably be useful!

Unicode doesn't perform it, but I understand it's straightforward to typeset it in, for example, TeX/MetaPost: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36809624 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36809624 ("Typesetting Rare Chinese Characters in LATEX")
