What matters is questions like "will these different forms ever
appear in the same document with distinct meanings, in the absence
of clear contextual distinctions (e.g. different languages)?".

How can you detect "clear contextual distinctions" without
semantics and interpretation?

You can't.  But it is not the job of the character set to supply the
semantics and interpretation.

You may think so. And then, it is the job of "charset" information
to supply the lacking information.
