- Technically speaking, Khitan Small Script and Yi script are not included (yet) in the data for non-Han ideographic scripts.

- The Jurchen and Seal scripts are poised to be officially added to Unicode 18.0 in September 2026...

The latest post on the Unicode Blog gives some important details about the future character repertoire in Unicode 18.0, notably the addition of 11,328 "Small Seal" ideographic characters, plus 965 "Jurchen" characters and radicals . It also offers very clear insights about the work of the UTC (Unicode Technical Committee) on CJK & Unihan characters, in collaboration with the IRG (Ideographic Research Group).
