BTW, even for Latin script, it's well known among psycholinguists that
study reading that readers can identify individual letters, but that in
fluent reading they do not do this. Rather, they process chunks of text,
recognising sequences of letters as a unit. Processing each individual
letter all the time would make for very slow reading.
