Interesting comments, thanks. It is used in company names, which would make it awkward not to have an encoding for it: there are many characters used just in names in Chinese that would leave locations and people having unencodable names if the characters were not in Unicode.
- thaumasiotes 10y ago> there are many characters used just in names in Chinese that would leave locations and people having unencodable names if the characters were not in Unicode I was under the impression that this describes the current state of affairs, and has since before Unicode came around. I know I've read an article about someone whose 姓 was 马 and whose personal name was a character composed of three 马 stacked left-to-right (which might have been pronounced cheng?) getting harassed because the government couldn't encode the name.
- ximeng 10y agoIt may be the case, but usage of many of these characters is rarer than 囍. Looking through many of the characters in the cjk Unicode extensions it is not hard to conclude that characters like 福倒 should exist. E.g. 2010f and 20114 which look like 了 and 予 upside down. Or 255d0 which is 石磊 joined together.
