No, characters are characters are characters.  They should not have any 
language tag.  The language tag, if of anything, could be returned as 
part of the style if you're working on a Text.  The default language tag 
could be extrapolated from the current user's locale.

I'm not planning to do this of course.  I'm just saying that there are 
other possibilities that (as Philippe pointed out) collaborate better 
with the rest of the Unicode world.  Maybe starting from a clean slate 
without #leadingChar, and working things out from there, would be better 
than forcing Han-disunification down the throat.
