A supplementary character set is a character set defined
with `:supplementary-p' flag. The meaning of this flag is
(in the docstring of define-charset):
VALUE must be nil or t. If the VALUE is t, the charset is
supplementary, which means it is used only as a parent or a
subset of some other charset, or it is provided just for backward
compatibility.
For instance, gb18030-2-byte, gb18030-4-byte-bmp,
gb18030-4-byte-ext-1, gb18030-4-byte-ext-2, and
gb18030-4-byte-smp are all supplementary character sets to
define gb18030 which is a superset of the above all.
arabic-1-column, arabic-2-column, arabic-digit are also
supplementary character sets that are provided for backward
compatiblity.
Priorities of supplementary character sets are always lower
than the other character set, so, for instance (char-charset
CHAR) never return a supplementary character set.
