I'm surprised nobody took Dan the Silly Man to task on this one.

Can you name a character encoding standard, anywhere in the world,
invented by anybody -- government, industry consortium, private company,
individual, kwijibo, ANYBODY -- that can do better in this regard than
Unicode?

Can you name a font technology that will support the display of these
"invented-on-the-fly" Kanji?

For that matter, can you invent a Kanji on the fly that cannot be
represented (perhaps in a rather cumbersome way) with Ideographic
Description Characters?
