     - Fix names written wholly in Han or Hangul parsing given-first: native-script CJK now reads family-first by default, through the new ``Policy.script_orders`` table, so ``"毛 泽东"`` gives family ``毛`` where 1.x gave family ``泽东``. A name that is a single unspaced token moves the same way — ``"毛泽东"`` and ``"山田太郎"`` now land in ``family``/``last`` where 1.x put them in ``given``/``first``, with the string itself untouched, which makes it the easiest form of this change to miss — a lone token renders the same whichever field holds it, whereas the spaced form does show up in the output (``str(HumanName("毛 泽东"))`` is now ``"泽东 毛"``). No language detection is involved: Chinese and Japanese both write the family name first in native script, so the script settles the order without anyone having to know which language it is. Latin-script and mixed-script names are never affected, and an explicit comma still wins. **Default-on: changes parse output for wholly-CJK names**, through ``HumanName`` as well as the 2.0 API (closes #271)
     - Fix unspaced Korean names not splitting: the census surname list now ships as default vocabulary (``Lexicon.surnames``) with hangul segmentation on by default (``Policy.segment_scripts``), so ``"김민준"`` parses family ``김``, given ``민준`` where 1.x returned the whole string as ``first``. Rendering follows the split, so ``str(HumanName("김민준"))`` is now ``"민준 김"`` where 1.x echoed the input back unchanged. Nothing but Korean is written in hangul and its surnames are a closed census set, which is what makes the split safe as a default rather than a pack. **Default-on**, and it reaches ``HumanName`` too. ``Policy(segment_scripts=())`` turns the split off; ``Policy(script_orders={})`` separately restores the positional reading; clearing both restores 2.0 behavior exactly (#271)
     - Fix Japanese names carrying kana parsing given-first: the family-first rule above extends to any name whose characters stay within kanji and kana while carrying at least one kana character, so ``"高橋 みなみ"`` gives family ``高橋`` and ``"山田 エミ"`` family ``山田`` where 1.x read both the other way round, and a lone such token (``"高橋みなみ"``, ``"みなみ"``) lands in ``family``/``last`` where 1.x put it in ``given``/``first``. The reasoning is the one hangul already uses: hiragana never transcribes a foreign name, and a transcription is kana ALONE, so kanji-plus-kana is a Japanese person's name written in Japanese order. A name written **wholly in katakana** is deliberately excluded and stays positional — it is predominantly a transcribed foreign name (``"マイケル ジャクソン"``) already in given-first order. **Default-on: changes parse output for kana-bearing Japanese names**, through ``HumanName`` as well as the 2.0 API, and the spaced forms change what the name renders as (``str(HumanName("高橋 みなみ"))`` is now ``"みなみ 高橋"``). ``Policy(script_orders={})`` clears this entry along with the Han and Hangul ones (#272)
-    - Fix names containing 〆 (U+3006, the shime mark that opens Japanese surnames like 〆木 and 〆谷) parsing given-first: the script classifier now counts 〆 as Han, extending the 々 entry the table already carries, and going a step further than it — 々 is Script=Han and merely outside the ideograph blocks, while 〆 is Script=Common — so these names take the East Asian family-first reading like any other wholly-Han name. ``Policy(script_orders={})`` restores the positional reading for these names exactly as for other wholly-Han names

     - Fix the katakana middle dot ``・`` (U+30FB, and its halfwidth twin U+FF65) being read as part of a name rather than as the divider it is: it now separates tokens exactly as a space does. A transcribed foreign name therefore divides into its parts and, being wholly katakana, keeps its source order — ``"マイケル・ジャクソン"`` gives given ``マイケル``, family ``ジャクソン``, where 1.x left the whole string in ``first`` — while a kanji pair written the same way takes the family-first rule (``"高橋・一郎"`` → family ``高橋``). Native Japanese names never contain this character and no other script's names use it, so the separation is unconditional, which also means it is **not** covered by the two policy opt-outs. Rendering follows, the way the Korean split's does: the dot comes back as a space, so ``str(HumanName("マイケル・ジャクソン"))`` is now ``"マイケル ジャクソン"``, and that reaches delimited content too — the nickname in ``"山田 太郎 (マイケル・ジャクソン)"`` renders ``"マイケル ジャクソン"``. The Chinese interpunct ``·`` is deliberately NOT included: U+00B7 is also the Catalan punt volat and appears inside legitimate names (``Gal·la``) (#272)
     - Fix NFD-decomposed input missing the East Asian defaults entirely: script classification now normalizes to NFC before deciding, so a Korean or Japanese name typed on macOS — where decomposed text is routine — gets the same order rule as its composed twin, which it silently did not before. Segmentation MATCHING deliberately stays raw, so an unspaced NFD hangul name is ordered correctly but not split, rather than being split in the wrong place. One gotcha worth stating plainly: parse output preserves the encoding it was given, so for NFD input ``name.family == "김"`` is ``False`` even though it is the same name — compare NFC-normalized text when comparing across encodings (#272)
