I'm just speaking about the many yearly inventions of sinograms for
personal/proper names, not about the ues of traditional characters for
normal language.
People just start by assembling components with common rules. Then they
enhance the produced character just like we personalize signatures. But for
me, all these look like personal signatures and are not neede for formal
encoding and even these persons will accept alternate presentations if it's
just to cite them (and would not like much that you imitate their personal
signature by standardizing it in a worldwide standard: I think many of
these encodings have severe privacy issues, possibly as well copyright
issues !).
