Generally, new CJK Ideographs proposed by members of the IRG (Ideographic Research Group) go through several rounds of exchanges/discussions until they get approved or possibly postponed or rejected.
For instance, here is the page dedicated to UK-20538 ⿰㐅也 (with images as "pieces of evidence"), which eventually made its way to Unicode 17.0, encoded as U+323BF :

如何优雅的录制终端？
看到蜗牛哥的教程 https://www.eallion.com/mastodon-backup/ 看到终端录制突然想到，很多时候直接录制终端导致：需要启动主机上的录制软件、文件过大、不够清晰...
asciinema 和 agg 可以很好解决这个问题
相关链接：
asciinema 官网：https://asciinema.org/
asciinema 文档： https://docs.asciinema.org/getting-started/
agg 文档：https://docs.asciinema.org/manual/agg/
快速安装rust环境： https://rustup.rs/
agg github文档： https://github.com/asciinema/agg?tab=readme-ov-file
安装使用（环境为debian12）：
sudo apt install asciinema 安装asciinema
asciinema rec mastodon_backup.cast 录制
ctrl+d停止录制
asciinema play mastodon_backup.cast 播放
ctrl+c停止播放
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh 为编译agg安装rust环境
source $HOME/.cargo/env 启用cargo
sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev安装必要编译器
git clone https://github.com/asciinema/agg 克隆仓库
cd agg
cargo build --release 编译agg
sudo mv target/releaseagg /usr/local/bin/ 移动agg二进制文件到用户bin目录
agg --version 确认、查看版本
sudo apt install fonts-noto-cjk 安装支持中文等宽字体
agg --font-dir /usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/ mastodon_backup.cast mastodon_backup.gif 指定字体目录，.cast导出为gif

The Ideographic Research Group (IRG) is responsible for preparing and reviewing sets of CJK unified ideographs to be included in the Unicode Standard.
It has recently made available a useful list of so-called disunified CJK ideographs, coming with images of glyphs and IRG source references, which also provides links to documents giving the rationale behind each disunification:
RE: https://mastodon.social/@mikaeru/115567152437555585
New additions include 4,298 additional CJK unified ideographs in a new block, CJK Unified Ideographs Extension J, as well as 18 other CJK ideographs added to the existing Extension C and Extension E blocks.
This increases the number of encoded CJK ideographs to over 100,000!
Also, nearly 2,500 already-encoded CJK ideographs are horizontally extended by the addition of source references and glyphs reflecting use of those ideographs in China and Korea.

The latest version of the open-source application "Unicopedia Sinica" is now available, adding support for all the new CJK/Unihan characters defined in Unicode 17.0.
海外メーカーあるあるなんだけど、フォントのせいで日中韓統合漢字(CJK統合漢字)が中国語の書き方になっちゃうのガチでキモいんだよな 「紡ぐ」とか、「空」の4・5画目とか、「直」とか。 こういうところをしっかりしてくれてる会社には好感持てるけど、粗末になっちゃうところは、日本のことを理解できてないな…とたまにちょっと寂しくなったりもする。 #フォント #CJK #font #Japanese
I tallied up which #freesoftware repos I have to modify every time (¹) I want to see the effect of my #wayland work:
- wayland-protocols
- wayland-rs
- smithay-client-toolkit
- winit
- maybe xilem
- smithay, twice
- my own input method demo
And then hopefully upstream it all.
Rinse and repeat for 4 to 8 independent changes. Can your project beat the admin overhead of that :P?
Thanks @nlnet for support!
¹ for input-method-side-only stuff winit and xilem are left alone.
Another day, another #Wayland protocol.
Still working on improving input methods. Just "finished" a feature useful especially to #CJK languages (#Chinese , #Japanese , #Korean ):
the input method intercepts some #key presses.

Here, I type "abc", then ctrl+space, then choose a suggestion with 1, 2, 3.
Thanks @nlnet for funding!
Thanks Wayland maintainers for reviewing!
it's ben 16 years and CJK-font setup is still broken on linux :neocat_sad:

New in the CJK Variations utility of Unicopedia Sinica:
- Support for the latest Ideographic Variation Database (IVD 2025), adding the new CAAPH Collection.
- Support for the updated BabelStone Collection (unregistered), based on the latest BabelStone Han font (v17.0.0 BETA), by Andrew C. West (魏安), 1960-2025 RIP (安息吧).

Based on the comment of this file, the ICU's Chinese word segmentation data is very out-dated (20+ years ago?).
Newer words from CC-CEDICT were purged because of license issue.

Current and future IRG source prefixes used to be listed in the main IRG homepage, but are now available in a separate dedicated page:
Another weekend, another couple of steps fixing the input method mess I (partly) started:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/408
Keyboard support and moving popups.
https://codeberg.org/dcz/stiwri/src/branch/popup
On the client support side, I'm kinda bummed that #iced looks like it's starved for maintainers. I don't want to switch contributions to something else because it's stalled.
Back to #Wayland and input methods.
What's your favorite input method?
Cause for me it was the one on old #Nokia phones. I could type with my hands in my pockets! Handy in winter.
https://codeberg.org/dcz/stiwri
Tested with #cosmic and #GTK .
This is just the beginning. Actually useful stuff is coming in the future. #Mobile keyboards, #Chinese input is what it's for:
