Adding some examples: Thousands of villagers in Anhui were forced to change their surnames because computers could not process and/or display their surnames (which is U+2CB3A): * https://m.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_1254623 * https://news.cctv.com/2014/07/15/VIDE1405423804170971.shtml * https://c.m.163.com/news/a/EKH9OBHE0512VPOB.html A specific Chinese character (U+23E24) used in the name of a place in Guangxi, China, is not supported by many fonts, leading to difficulties in digital representation. Another character, which Unicode has not yet encoded in its Simplified Chinese version (but has encoded in its Traditional Chinese form as U+2A00B), was used as a surname by a family in Lijiang, Yunnan. Due to the inability to enter or display this character in digital information systems, the family has faced significant inconveniences, ultimately forcing them to change their surname. In April 2023, this issue gained attention on China's Weibo hot search, accumulating 140 million clicks. There are many other examples, affecting more people. -- GitHub Notification of comment by xfq Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/typography/issues/86#issuecomment-2647324916 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
