It is not ture. I think, maybe you are not familiar how Chinese
characters
are used in our daily work. But the other 5 cases are often written
(not inputed), especially U+53F0, U+6E7E, U+5B66 are sometimes
preferrd because they are less-strokes.
What you said are in a restricit environment, like Windows 98, on which
you can not input those characters on some limited IME. However,
Windows 2000 will change the user behavior.
