- Technically speaking, Khitan Small Script and Yi script are not included (yet) in the data for non-Han ideographic scripts.

- The Jurchen and Seal scripts are poised to be officially added to Unicode 18.0 in September 2026...

All documents published by the Ideographic Research Group (IRG) are now available on the Unicode web site, and can be easily and efficiently found through the new search bar provided on the IRG homepage.

This long-awaited search feature is very convenient, and so useful to find what you're interested in, and even more (ah, the wonderful power of serendipity!)...

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 𲎿 :

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:

As you might expect, my main application Unicopedia Plus relies heavily on #Unicode...

Today, I updated the #Electron framework to its latest major version 39.0.0, hoping it would at last bring full support to Unicode 16.0, published by the UTC in September 2024 , but unfortunately no; it is still stuck in Unicode 15.1, published in September 2023! Moreover, Unicode 17.0 has already been officially released...
