Support unification. The difference between the two forms of this character is the same as the difference between the regional forms of e.g. U+6220 戠 and U+6222 戢 (G forms extend the horizontal stroke of the left component into the 戈, but T forms have separate components). We should add a UCV for this variation.
Evidences 4-9 appear to show ⿰月⿹⿶戈一⿳⿲纟言纟⿲长马长心 with a full 言 in the top middle. It is unclear what Evidence 1-3 intend for the top middle component, but it looks more like ⿱丷口 than ⿱二口.
The unification has been discussed in IRG meeting before and the decision was that it should be encoded seperately.

Hongmen character unification (IRGN2634 Wang Xieyang)
The editors considered these CJK unified characters and thus they could be submitted to IRG for future extension.
To respect the procedure, this should be brought out al least before submission. If not, they should be treated as UNIFIED ideographs based on my comments in IRGN2634. The reasons why it should be seperately encoded was stated clearly and agreed by IRG.
It is good to keep the current glyph. The stroke at the very top should be normalized to dot according to all other variants. Moreover, the thing between the two 纟 should absolutely be 言.
If the second 纟 is with a slanting up final stroke, the space in the lower right corner will become too large, causing the glyph to look less beautiful than it is now.
Review Comments
Same abstract shape.
