Based on <https://www.kantei.go.jp/jp/tyoukanpress/201904/1_a.html>and
[...]
the encoding appears to be correct.
In addition to the code of <U4EE4>, note that the code of <UF9A8> is
also present in <REI>. The latter is a CJK compatibility ideograph
unicode character and is not usually used.
Sorry, I don't understand. Do you mean that the era name could be
written with <UF9A8> instead of <U4EE4> as the first codepoint? How
certain are we that <U4EE4> is indeed the official codepoint?
I believe it could be written as <UF9A8>, but that is not a Kanji
character which we can display in shift-jis / euc-jp, while <U4EE4>
is a code point we have mapped to a specific encoding value.
All uses of REI are <U4EE4> on the government site, which is as strong
indicator that this is what we should be using.
Lastly, this CLDR ticket for 35.1:

And these revisions of trunk:

Indicate <U4EE4> is what will be used for CLDR and we should match.
