The //Nôm// character repertoire in Unicode has expanded several times. The early favorite of the Vietnamese wikis, HAN NOM A/B <http://vietunicode.sourceforge.net/fonts/fonts_hannom.html>, contains most //Nôm//-specific characters, but many of them are encoded in the Private Use Area because the font predates CJK Unified Ideographs Extension E in Unicode 10. Aside from coverage, selecting a dedicated //Nôm// font is important because some important characters have distinct forms in each CJKV tradition that nevertheless got unified into a single Unicode codepoint.

Some continue to use it today, there are several sites wrote using this script, and we can still see some videos using it as subtitles. This ticket tracks adding a monolingual language code, which would be useful regardless of exactly when //chữ nho// or //chữ Nôm// fell out of the mainstream. After all, we’ve already been resorting to workarounds like `vi-x-Q875344` in Wikidata lexemes for a while now, but no such workaround is possible for a native label <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1705> statement on a family name item or inscription <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1684> statement on a commemorative plaque item, for example.
