Maybe we could mention rare Han characters here. In China, many people are unable to open a bank account online, buy train tickets online, or even buy cars and apartments because of uncommon characters in their names.

Problems include but are not limited to:

Anyway, although things are getting better and better, there are still gaps for the support of rare Han characters.

We might want to consider writing a gap report for this. I'll record some relevant information in this issue.

Recently, mobile phone manufacturers are finally starting to implement GB18030-2022 level 3. The MiSans font family added 60,340 new characters to comply with the latest GB18030-2022 national standard.

There needs to be a free and open source font that supports all characters currently used in personal names. The new MiSans L3 font is an improvement, but it's not enough.

After the reorganization, the document no longer contains actual content and has become a list of links to the script resources documents, so I'll close this issue.
