Dear Toni and others, there are 75 thousand Chinese characters in Unicode, hence one ttf file which has a limit of 256x256 glyphs can not contain all Chinese characters, at least two ttf font files are required. Some packages contain 2 ttf files often labelled A and B one from Chinese characters in the BMP (Basic Multilingual Plane) and another for those in SIP (Supplementary Ideographic Plane) . The example above is from SIP.
