Hong Kong Character Set Project (HKCS) 香港民間字集

  Character Coverage:
  This version of the font includes all characters in URO / URO+ and also select characters from Extension A/B for Cantonese support in Hong Kong. Full Extension A support is being worked on.

  Characters and glyphs which are deemed to be duplicates, simplified forms, vulgar forms or error glyphs are visually aliased to their canonical forms.
