It's probably also futile to keep homoglyph tables without the context of the font being used, as т and т are the same letter, just with different styles (and in some fonts resemble T and m respectively in Latin). Unicode mentions homoglyphs briefly in UTR #36, but overall I feel that it's not really their job to solve that issue, as visually similar characters already exist in ASCII and other limited character sets and every context where those things are a problem probably needs to be evaluated differently with different mitigations.
