Sufficient time has passed that to implement GB 18030 in any encoding other than Unicode makes no sense. The main benefit of the GB 18030 revision is to simply remove the PUA requirement from the GB 18030 certification process. Font implementation that map from those 24 PUA code points, to be GB 18030–compliant, should already be double-mapping from the corresponding 24 non-PUA code points.
