Hi,

I hope this is the correct package to report the bug against. If not,
please re-assign.

I can't write this character, encircled in red in the small screenshot,
no matter what. Looking through the Unihan database, I was able to at
least find it, but it appeared that many glyphs are still missing, and I
can probably not write those, either. I have installed about every
chinese font I could find, but there are still gaping holes, as the
screenshot from the Unihan database shows, the fonts covering something
like 30% of all characters for this radical.

I have attached two screenshots.

I think I've reported such problems before, but can't find my notes
about that, nor the corresponding bug report(s). :(


Cheers,
Toni

I assume you are using fonts-noto-cjk, and unfortunately it doesn't
include all Chinese fonts.
See https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-sans/issues/240

There are 2 separate issues:

* The default fonts-noto-cjk font does not provide the shape for U+2AA0A.

* Fcitx5 does not support typing characters from CJK extention C for now.

For the fcitx5 support part, I have received comments from fcitx5
upstream developer that there is no intent of supporting those
characters in the near future, but it might be supported someday
together with all other characters from the same CJK extention plane.
For now, I will mark this bug with tag upstream and wontfix.
You are welcome to open an issue against upstream fcitx5 project
to better track the progress.

Best,
Boyuan Yang
