I do not think that this is a general problem with PUAs, renaming the bug to
match its scope, as I understand it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Some history: A3A0 (or 0300 in unencoded form) was undefined in original
GB2312, GB2312-80, GBK or Microsoft's version of the latter. Due to what looks
like a bug, it was mapped to Unicode U+3000 in browsers though. WebKit also
used to have a workaround for this, added for <rdar://problem/3225472>
"www.sina.com.cn uses A3A0 for full-width space". This workaround was lost when
switching to ICU.

GB18030, which is the next iteration of GBK, maps it to a private use character
U+E5E5, but browsers do not follow the spec in this.
