Oh, I think you can be fairly sure that ...well, no. I oughtn't say that, but I'd be very, very surprised if any rendering engine did that, because, as you rightly pointed out, they have different CSS. The BFL/RI/DC will have a span on it, with a character style, or whatever you want to call it.
BUT, two virgin letters? Hansel and Gretel, out there, unprotected? Oh, yeah. They'll get snapped up in a ligature cottage and baked, you betcha.
