I think you may misunderstand real implementations for Windows 95/NT
localization.
Because unocode font glyph and collation data depend on an used
language, general unicode-based systems have them for only subset area
of unicode. For example, Windows 95/NT did so.
Please look U+301C by an "Unicode character code table" program by
japanese fonts on Windows 95/NT. This character is defined in JIS
X0221 mappings and used in other unicode-based japanized systems. This
character isn't displayed on Windows 95/NT.
And I doubt windows program can compare them.
A good solution may be that all unicode-based japanese systems treat
all unicode character used in all japanese<->unicode mapping. And
additional japanese industrial standards may be needed.
