I haven't had any occasion to poke around at 21-bit Unicode
codepoints. The JIS standards only have 303 kanji with them; all added
in the JIS X 0213 standard introduced in 2000.

[As I wrote in my "A Brief History of Japanese Character Set
Standards" (https://www.edrdg.org/~jwb/paperdir/kanjicomp.html) "the
main lasting impact of the JIS X 0213 standard will probably be the
additional 303 kanji it contributed to Unicode."]
