ASCII punctuation preference

[MasterInQuestion]

    Reasons disfavoring non-ASCII punctuation:
    |1| Inconsistent spacing behavior. (e.g. "...），...")
    |2| Quirky look under ASCII only view. (e.g. `hexdump`)
    |3| Typically (UTF-8) takes more bytes.
    |4| Impedes general parsing.

=== Background ===

    Chinese, Japanese may use a variant of highly similar but different punctuation.
    [ E.g. https://zh.wikisource.org/wiki/水東日記?diffonly=1&diff=prev&oldid=2314213 ]
    Which is de facto problematic.


== Details ==

=== Inconsistent spacing behavior ===

    The worst-case example would be "...》：“..." alike.

    |1| Certain Chinese oriented fonts may have non-standard rendering on following characters:
[[
|1| "“" (Left Double Quotation Mark) (U+201C, 0xE2809C, “)
|2| "”" (Right Double Quotation Mark) (U+201D, 0xE2809D, ”)
|3| "‘" (Left Single Quotation Mark) (U+2018, 0xE28098, ‘)
|4| "’" (Right Single Quotation Mark) (U+2019, 0xE28099, ’)
]]
    ; which would blindly integrate the space into character.
    Which may cause "Lay's" rendered like "Lay' s".
    And texts involve quotes may become in particular difficult to read under standard fonts.

    |2| To somewhat remediate the problem in font: requires the sophisticated handling of context dependent shaping (similar to those used in Arabic).
    Which is troublesome to design, and much incompatible with standard fonts.
