Some Korean hanja should be designed more consistently

睷 (U+7777) and 綎 (U+7D8E) should be redesigned to include that axe detail in the last stroke of 廴.

羫 (U+7FAB) should be redesigned to follow the standard JP form of 空. This applies to Sans as well.

乼 (U+4E7C) should adjust the drop stroke (點) at the top of 主 to be more consistent with JP/KR forms, but that would probably break China's 新字形 form, so I'm not sure about this. Either make a new glyph for KR, directly adjust the current glyph, or just leave it. This issue also applies to Sans.

抆 (U+6286) should have the axe detail, circled at where it should be, it should be similar to my mockup.

EDIT: Updated my mockup image slightly for balance.

None of these characters are improved at all in Noto Serif v2.002. I am hoping this issue is not ignored and can be resolved in the next release of Serif.

Here is another character to review: uni8C41-KR (豁) at CID 38614. The strokes in the 害 component needs to be made consistent with other characters with that component, so basically the top horizontal stroke in the middle 丰 part need to be the shortest, not the second shortest as per the current glyph (which basically and coincidentally makes it an extended Shinjitai version of the Japanese glyph).

Sans does not have this problem.
