I know that Big5-1984, Chinese Characters Code, includes 13,461 characters and Big5-2003 includes 13,829 characters.
I want to know how many characters Big5+ (Big5 plus) includes.

Thank you in advance!

Big5+
The Chinese Foundation for Digitization Technology introduced Big5+ in 1997, which used over 20000 code points to incorporate all CJK logograms in Unicode 1.1. However, the extra code points exceeded the original Big-5 definition (Big5+ uses high byte values 81-FE and low byte values 40-7E and 80-FE), preventing it from being installed on Microsoft Windows.
