fix: render the any_character function item

any_character parses as a function item, not an alias reference, and
the item renderers had no branch for it — every rule guarded by
before any_character + any_character was silently dropped. kp-kor's
generic-suffix hyphenation (Kobi-ri) is built from such guards.

Direct corpus sweep: 35 failures / 13 maps -> 16 / 10 — kp-kor (8),
var-zho-wd (8) and odni-uzb (3) fully healed.
