Description Ken Shirriff 2020-11-17 16:56:44 PST 
When Safari's screen reader reads text with "𝗶" it says "MATHEMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD SMALL 1" instead of "'MATHEMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD SMALL I".

Expected behavior: it should say "small i" (the letter i)
Observed behavior: it says "small one" (the number 1)

The character is U+1D5F6 and its official name can be verified at https://unicode.org/charts/nameslist/n_1D400.html#1D5F6

I saw this bug appear on Twitter so unfortunately I don't have information on the Safari version.
