I have absolutely no idea about Chinese or Japanese characters, but if they did that there's probably a technical reason like retro compatibility or something. Unicode has free space left for millions or billions of characters.

    Unicode has free space left for millions or billions of characters.

    I might be wrong, but isn't unicode essentially unlimited? Like, they're just assigning numbers (codepoints) to individual characters. Any limitation would come from encodings like utf-8, no?
