My guess is most if not all systems which do support that case, implement a higher level abstraction than "String" to take care of it.

Which means, you can solve the problems caused by Han Unification using standard Unicode.
Seems like a lot of fun to implement support for :)


Why we should care?

We define a string as a sequence of Characters.
We say that every Character can be uniquely identified by its unicode value.

and we say nothing about things like locale, language etc.. because it is higher level concepts, e.g.
things like mapping unicode value (or sequence of them) into sequence of glyphs to display on screen, using whatever font, is outside of scope of 'String' definition.
