A rendering engine would be quite justified to do this, but one should
keep in mind that some characters that are canonically equivalent

For example, · U+0387 GREEK ANO TELEIA is a canonical equivalent to
· U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT, but many fonts have the first a little higher than
the second. Some even have different shapes for the two dots...
