(Whiteboard: gfx-noted,feature) 

The NotoSansCJKsc-Regular font
https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-cjk/blob/master/NotoSansCJKsc-Regular.otf
allows the OpenType 'locl' mechanism to select between SC, TC, Japanese, and Korean characters.

I confirmed on Linux that Japanese glyphs are displayed if a web page uses a "UTF-8" charset, such as https://ja.wikipedia.org.

But on Japanese pages with a "Shift_JIS" charset declared, Chinese variants are displayed, instead of Japanese variants. For example:
