He is saying that for over 80% of dictionary entries, that are at least
two codepoint sequences that render the same.  He is not counting
'unused/undefined' sequences using FVS.  He further makes the point
that people are often unsure which letter ought to be used in a
particular place in a particular word.

For example, with one exception, O and U are rendered the same, as are
OE and UE.  A and E are often indistinguishable in writing.  In many
contexts, O and OE are indistinguishable in writing.
