I have never seen them used in a web context, so I'd be surprised if any
of the limited contexts in which they are used would recognize them.

> Traditional Chinese

Conventionally zh-tw.  Note that there will be significant dialect differences
between this and zh-hk, but this is the one for generic material.  (There
is actually a Hong Kong supplemental character set.)

> Simplified Chinese

Conventionally zh-cn.
