    Taiwan have just submitted a proposal to encode 24 characters required
    for Taiwanese and Hakka (see
    <http://www.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/~irg/irg/irg28/IRGN1305_CJKD_24Char_TCA.pdf>
    and <http://www.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/~irg/irg/irg28/IRGN1305A.pdf>), taken
    from a number of different dictionaries, including two characters from
    台華雙語辭典. How far does this go towards filling the gap of the 152
    invented characters in 台華雙語辭典? What characters in this dictionary
    still remain to be encoded?
