There does not appear to be much on the internet, besides short samples such as

but it is conceivable that there are offline archives of newspapers, etc.
Either way, if there is a corpus of existing digital data using the
old Zhuang orthography then you don't want to invalidate it by
disunifying a frequently used letter; and if there isn't any existing
data then there is no need to disunify as no-one needs to use the
letter anyway.
