As detailed earlier at least 20 thousand, with another 2 or 3 times
that much if one gives variants etc (which makes a total of 80
thousand) their own code points, the scale may end up similar to the
Wenlin PUA which filled up all of plane 15 without difficulty. But at
80 thousand if one is out by a factor of 2 then the figure becomes 160
thousand.
The project is in theory to document every Han character used by
non-Han people in China. The Zhuang are by far the biggest such group
with the most extensive literature. This is for research purposes,
among other things the data will be used to decide which characters
should be encoded.
