> I was told that the Unified CJK thing adopted a different "philosophy" from the rest of Unicode
What would that philosophy be about? Sounds apocryphal. Unicode has never done "unification" like that for other languages/scripts?
i/ı/i, ö/ø/ø̈/oͤ: Same same, different codepoints.
Search and sorting is a mess everywhere. Depending on your locale, ö sorts either after o or after z. Sometimes it's semantically and phonetically equivalent to o wrt search but moreoften not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96
