What means
To give rare name characters a shared identity across systems. The Public Security Population Information font is a special typeface used for resident identity-card registration in China. Its supplement covers rare personal and place names needed in public services. Some characters had only private-use codes—local slots another system might not recognize. Unicode included Extension I in 2023; China incorporated the supplement into GB 18030 Amendment 1 in 2024.

Questions people ask
1Why does show as a box?
Usually a font gap. Extension I font support was still being filled out in 2024; a font without this glyph may show a box, while one with it can display the character.
