Kissinger 2 as of version dev5 has 26466 halfwidth characters, 38948 fullwidth characters, 63060 total, and 2354 overlap. Unlike Unifont, Kissinger 2 dev5 is entirely public domain and supports non-Indic shaping (Arabic/Hebrew/Thai/Vietnamese), as well as glyphs for Cuneiform and Egyptian Hieroglyphs. The hex format used for storing glyphs has been expanded to store shaping features, therefore allowing hex format users to use a lightweight shaping implementation without having to import bloated dependencies, and bidirectional rendering without incurring the full complexity of Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm.
