I saw a number of commits go by for: Use ... instead of … for zh_CN
For our translation guide, for zh_CN, we should use `...' instead of `…',
as `…' is quite ugly when work with Chinese characters.
How it looks ('ugly') is entirely determined by the font though. It
sounds like you are trying to work around a font problem with a
system-wide string change. I don't think that is the best strategy.
What will you do when the font you use starts to recognize three dots
as a ligature for ... - insert ZWNJ ? I think this should be solved
at the font level, by ensuring that a suitable ellipsis glyph is used
with Chinese.
