    There does not appear to be much on the internet, besides short samples such as

    <http://kr.geocities.com/tomchiukc/Language/Zhuang/NewOldZhuang.html>

    but it is conceivable that there are offline archives of newspapers, etc.

    Either way, if there is a corpus of existing digital data using the
    old Zhuang orthography then you don't want to invalidate it by
    disunifying a frequently used letter; and if there isn't any existing
    data then there is no need to disunify as no-one needs to use the
    letter anyway.
