agenda+ Changes in GB 18030-2022

A new version of GB 18030 was released in 2023, but WHATWG[1][2] and 
IANA[3] are still referring to the 2005 and 2000 versions of it.

Should we do something as a group? Note that this is a mandatory 
standard in China.

Eiso Chan from the clreq group wrote an email to IANA, and they asked 
him to write a comparison of GB 18030-2000 and GB 18030-2022. He 
documented the differences in https://gitee.com/eisoch/irg/issues/I65U2Z 
a few months ago (see the U+E8xx code points, for example), but got no 
reply from IANA.

See also https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8301119 for support in 
Java.
