The explanation for this example talks about "Traditional Chinese", and using zh-tw for traditional Chinese is obsolete. If the "Li Sung" font used in the example doesn't include the Hong Kong characters, you might use zh-Hant-TW (or, if compatibility with RFC 3066 is required, zh-TW), and describe that as "traditional Chinese as used in Taiwan".
