--- Comment #2 from Jungshik Shin <jshin@chromium.org> ---
Initially, I thought we'd better stick to GB18030-2000, but having checked the
coverage of Windows fonts (as well as fonts on Android such as Noto Sans CJK),
I have a second thought. It's not clear what would be the best. 

The characters in the attachment are not likely to be used very often and it
may not matter much. Vertical variants are just there for GB18030 compatibility
and very few documents would use them explicitly (moreover, Simplified Chinese
very rarely, if used at all, uses vertical layout ). 

If it affects only an extremely small # of documents, it can be argued that a
newer mapping is better (GB18030-2005).
