The recent discussions on gg sans sorta reminds me of how Discordโs old UI font used to perform bad in Vietnamese.
Platforms with user generated content at Discordโs scale has an inevitably high bar on choosing a UI font, let alone customize one.
When a platform is at that scale, you should expect users to write in all sort of languages, and do a good job at rendering them. If you are choosing a UI font, let it render ALL glyphs of a script (except CJK Han), or just donโt bother that script at all, and let the OS handle it. Otherwise, your users would had a bad time reading their messages with your custom fonts.
Some examples:
1. Old Discord UI font (Whitney) fallbacks when rendering Vietnamese
2. New Discord UI font (gg sans) fallbacks when rendering Japanese (from geo_vitya)

P.S. Ligature for ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ wonโt help gg sans.
OpenType ligatures work on Glyphs Substitution (GSUB) table. The font needs to have all the glyphs in the sequence in order to replace it with something else. So itโd still need to include glyphs for ใ, ใ, etc. for a ligature.

#TIL there is a custom branding typeface for the movie Avatar: the Way of Water โ Toruk โ based on the logotype, designed by SwellType, a foundry known for custom typefaces of famous game titles. The font was licensed to the Naโvi language learning forum.
However, it looks like the font could be kerned better, espically on the a-v pair.

If you ever see the โ dagger symbol with no unmatched footnote, it means the writer is saying the phrase while threatening you with a dagger.
