Don't believe what you hear. Unicode 1.0 (i.e. 10 years ago) (*) had ALL
the kanji in JIS208 and JIS212. In other words about double the variety
of kanji available on almost any computer in Japan.

There are still lingering xenophobic suspicions about Unicode in Japan,
and one hears wierd misinformation about it.

(*) Since Unicode 4.0, it has every kanji known to mankind, apart from those
created in the last 6 months.
