Confusion

In century 21, the computer support of characters of Japanese is underdeveloped.
Up to year 2021, there is no united standard for the default font, that would allow each character to look the same at various computers, but different from other characters.
Apparently, the opposite cases take place: the character looks different with the default font of different operational systems, but similar to other characters at the same computer. This causes confuses.

In particular, this refers to character X2FA1 ⾡.

Characters X2FA1 ⾡, X8FB5 辵 cause confusion. Evan a native Japanese speaker, watching ⾡, 辵, is unlikely to answer:
Which of them is X2FA1?
Which of them is X8FB5?

Characre ⾡ is qualified as Chinese and 辵 is Japanese ; it could specify citizenship of a walker (Chinese or Japanese), or the country (China or Japan) where the walk is performed. However, these characters look similar; looking at such a character, it is difficult to guess, is it Chinese or Japanese kanji.

However, these characters can be distinguished with PHP program du1.t, using command

php du1.t ⾡辵

but this is not convenient to do this each time, when some of these two characters appear in the text and the reader/writer tries to guess, is it Chinese or Japanese. Neither ⾡ nor 辵 is allowed in Tarja.
