Too many Han.
How do we keep Han from eating up all the codepoints?

I mean, if we said no Han we'd get a lot of irate Chinese,
but still....

If your browser (word processor, paint program, etc.)
takes U+2FF0 thru U+2FFB and actually tries to *DRAW*
the character, is that OK by Unicode rules?

Trying to list all the Han characters is probably like
trying to list all the songs ever written or something.
I doubt there will ever exist a complete list of all
Han characters.

What is the Chinese equivalent of the Jouyou Kanji,
anyway?
