The weakness of HK SCS is that the government did not do active
research; they solicited input, and there are several hundred
Cantonese-specific characters that didn't get in because nobody asked
for them.
At the same time, the current support (with Extension C) for Cantonese
is very good and once Extension D is done it should be reasonably
complete.
