[ChineseGP] Characters likely to cause offence

The reason why this character (U+5350) is in J-LGR-2 is that 
this is defined as variant of U+534D in C-LGR-1.  U+534D is in 
J-LGR-1 repertoire, so it was integrated into J-LGR-2 by proposed 
integration algorithm.

As you see in J-LGR-2.xlsx, U+5350 is marked as (o) or (b), so it 
will never appear on Root zone if it is used in applied-for string 
as Japanese IDN TLD.
